Folkmoot Festival

For more than 20 years, Folkmoot, Old English for “a meeting of the people,” has brought performers from more than 100 countries to the region, where they share their heritage and culture through song, dance, and stories. Some of this year’s representatives will travel from Spain, Greece, Serbia, and Kenya to entertain and educate.

The festival is based in Waynesville, but performances take place across the region. Venues, performances times, and prices vary; (828) 452-2997; www.folkmootusa.org
