Bluegrass Benefit Concert
Saturday, August 8, 2026 · 5 to 8 PM
Join us on the lawn for an evening of live bluegrass under the trees, in celebration of our third anniversary. Bring a chair or blanket, settle in with friends, and enjoy catered barbecue and the sound of traditional mountain music as the evening light goes long.
This is a benefit concert for Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina, a nonprofit preserving the region’s bluegrass and old-time music. We ask each guest for a $50 donation, which helps cover food and drink and supports their work. The evening is bring-your-own, with non-alcoholic beverages provided.
Space is limited to 50 guests, and an RSVP is required. Call the inn to reserve your spot. (828) 318-2630
