The experience
What's special
Mountain Song Festival is an intimate bluegrass and Americana festival held each September at the Brevard Music Center in the mountains of Transylvania County, North Carolina, as a benefit for the Cindy Platt Boys & Girls Club. The setting mixes covered auditorium seating with open lawn, and the event has raised over a million dollars for the club across its run. Lineups lean bluegrass, jam and roots, with acts such as the Steep Canyon Rangers closely associated with it
What people love
Attendees describe a warmly received, well-run benefit with a strong bluegrass and jam lineup and plenty of on-site food options, and often say they would highly recommend it. Its compact size is part of the appeal, though it also means tickets can sell out well before the gates open
Last time around (2024)
At a recent edition the festival sold out -- some attendees felt it was oversold -- with crowds drawn by headliners including Zach Top and the Steep Canyon Rangers. Food vendors such as Sabora, Flat Rock Pizza and Smoke On served the grounds, and those working the event said the crowd was 'certainly having a great time.'
