The event will host learning stations highlighting aspects of North Carolina's recreation and tourism, creative arts, environment, health, innovation and technology, social change and creative arts in three regions: Appalachian Mountains, Piedmont Plateau and Atlantic Coastal Plains.

Visitors may hear indigenous music, play games popular in the state, hear literature readings, see motion picture clips, try a hand at creating pottery or face jugs, sample unique foods, examine regional criminal justice issues, witness dance demonstrations and explore outdoor recreational opportunities.

The Mountain Heritage Center will also feature a regional band led by Annie Fain Liden-Barralon (banjo) and her husband Geraud Barralon (guitar/fiddle) and a participatory dance demonstration led by Trina Royar, Mountain Heritage Day coordinator.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
