Appalachian Stage

Five bronze figures seemingly float to the rhythms of Appalachian music, a tribute to the songs of the mountains, and a special salute to the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival first staged by Bascom Lamar Lunsford in 1927. These Gary Aslum sculptures remind Asheville folk and visitors alike to grab a folding chair or blanket and plunk down on Roger McGuire Green for Shindig-on-the-Green, Saturday nights, all summer long.
