The Gathering at Paint Rock Farm Music Festival
The Gathering at Paint Rock Farm, a new curated three-day live music, arts, camping, and family-friendly experience, has rescheduled its inaugural dates from September 24-26, 2021 to June 3-5, 2022, at Paint Rock Farm, an outdoor haven of natural splendor spanning across 160 acres of majestic land overlooking the French Broad River, in Hot Springs, NC. The Gathering is a calling for people looking for a new way to unplug from the daily digital grind and to connect with the great outdoors and each other to celebrate the joy of life. The event will be headlined Friday by vibrant Asheville, NC-based instrumental powerhouse Toubab Krewe, Saturday headliner New Orleans Mardi Gras Jazz Tribal Gold and will also include performances by Jonathan Scales Fourchesta, Natti Lovejoys, Wandering Hours, Lazy Birds, Clover & The Sunman, Adi the Monk, Greg Olsen, Chris Rosser, and more. Attending guests will be treated to two nights of overnight camping and three days of active and outdoor activities such as yoga, kirtan music, outdoor education classes, foraging, live music performances, guided nature hikes, BigFoot storytelling sessions, and art classes. Throughout the weekend, there will be displays of Off-Grid systems and nomadic lifestyle workshops (solar, bus, van builds, living on the road, etc.). Golden Comanche Mardi Gras Indian Chief Juan Pardo will host a reading from his children’s book, When the Morning Comes and lead a crown making class for the youth. John Grant Jr. of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians will share stories and music of the beauty and grace of Cherokee Culture.
