The Swannanoa Gathering Homepage

"The worst part about the Gathering is that there are only 24 hours in the day and 3 of them are wasted sleeping!"

We are a series of summer workshops in various folk arts held on the campus of Warren Wilson College near Asheville in the heart of North Carolina's beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Each week also features public concerts.

In addition, we sponsor a spring series of Celtic
music concerts at the Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville's arts & education center, Pack Place.
