Music is an age-old tradition in the hills of the Southern Appalachians. We can’t get enough of that speedy banjo pickin’ and those high, lonesome vocals! If you love bluegrass, ole-time mountain music, country, and Americana, make plans to join us for the annual Spruce Pine BBQ & Bluegrass Festival on October 7, 2023 at the Riverside Park across the river from Downtown Spruce Pine, North Carolina [ map ].
