Hendersonville Street Dances have taken place annually since 1918, when the city welcomed home its soldiers from the War by celebrating in the streets. This regular concert series showcases traditional, local bluegrass music, square dancing and Appalachian clogging demonstrations. Concert organized by the Arts Council of Henderson County.
August 12 – This evening, enjoy a performance by the Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) Program. JAM introduces music through small group instruction on instruments common to the Appalachian region, such as fiddle, banjo and guitar.

August 19 – This week, enjoy the music of Blue Ridge Tradition, and Asheville-based, 5-piece bluegrass band that has been entertaining audiences across Western North Carolina since 2004. The band plays a unique mix of traditional bluegrass, original songs, crossover material from other genres and of course, dance tunes. The band performs regularly at festivals, street dances, restaurants, private parties and weddings, as well as other venues across the region. The band’s mission is simple: “Play some great music and let folks have a great time!”
