December 5 - 7 Balsam Range Art of Music Festival - Lake Junaluska
The popular bluegrass band from Haywood County presents three days of evening concerts featuring some of the top nationally touring artists in the field of bluegrass and acoustic music, plus musician and songwriter workshops and more. Among performances each night by Balsam Range is a show by the band with the Atlanta Pops Orchestra Ensemble, a 14-piece version of the typically 30+ piece Atlanta Pops Orchestra. Thursday night's kickoff show in the resort's Shackford Hall is to feature additional Haywood County musicians, and proceeds are to go toward local Hurricane Helene relief. The festival is in its eighth year in 2024. Click on the photo for more information.
