Mountain Faith ‘Welcome Home Parade’

art mtnfaithThere will be a “Welcome Home Parade” for acclaimed bluegrass act Mountain Faith at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, in downtown Sylva.

The Sylva-based bluegrass/gospel group advanced all the way to the semifinals of NBC’s nationally televised show “America’s Got Talent.” The group performed live twice at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, before being eliminated from the competition on Sept. 2. 

The parade will start at Mark Watson Park, proceed down Main Street, circle to Mill Street and conclude at Bridge Park. There will be a reception at the Bridge Park after the parade. Refreshments will also be provided. The public is invited to attend this free event.

Mountain Faith will greet fans, sign autographs, have CDs, apparel, and other merchandise available for purchase. Entertainment will be provided by the Triple Threat Dancers, the Smoky Mountain High School (SMHS) Marching Band and SMHS cheerleaders will participate in the parade.

The parade is being organized by the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Sylva and Jackson County Parks and Recreation.
