Martin Luther King Jr. Park
in downtown Asheville, NC

Bring your instruments, families, friends, lawn chairs 
and blankets for good times at the 42nd. summer season 
of Shindig on the Green -- at our temporary location: 
Martin Luther King, Jr. Park on Martin Luther King Jr. Dr.
just around the corner from where we usually are on Pack
Square. Our permanent home at Pack Square Park is 
undergoing a wonderful renovation, to include the building 
of a brand new stage for Shindig - which will be named 
for Mountain Dance and Folk Festival founder - 
Bascom Lamar Lunsford.

This mountain tradition features an always-enjoyable variety of

·        Big Circle Mountain Dancers

·        Clog Dancers

·        Bluegrass and Old Time String Bands

·        Ballad Singers

·        Storytellers

Shindig on the Green gets underway “along about sundown,” or for those using a watch- 7:00 p.m., and usually runs until 10:00 p.m.  Concessions are available. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the beautiful music and dance traditions of Southern Appalachia on a summer evening in the mountains.
