Annual Pipes on the Parkway

Join us for the 3rd annual Pipes on the Parkway on June 7th, from noon to 4 PM, at The Orchard at Altapass, where the rich Scots-Irish heritage of our region comes alive through the soulful sounds of traditional music. Set amidst a stunning heirloom apple orchard perched along the Blue Ridge Parkway, this event offers a unique blend of history and harmony, with breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop.

Celebrate the enduring legacy of the Scots-Irish settlers who shaped these hills, as pipers and musicians fill the air with timeless melodies that echo their stories of resilience and culture. Whether you’re tapping your feet to the tunes or soaking in the scenic beauty of this historic orchard, Pipes on the Parkway promises an afternoon of connection to the past and enjoyment of the present—perfect for families, history buffs, and music lovers alike.

Slug and Snail Puppet Show (2-8 years)

In the spirit of healing and growth following the challenging times of Helene, we’re thrilled to partner with Asheville Creative Arts – ACA to present a free, heartwarming table-top puppet show for children 2 – 8 years old that celebrates resilience, friendship, and community on Saturday, April 5, at the Dr. Wesley Grant Sr. Southside Center (285 Livingston St., Asheville).

Shows will take place at 10:30 and 11:45 am. The 20-minute show will be followed by a craft activity with the theme of “helpers.” To give access to more children, we’re asking each family to bring only one adult if possible. Tickets are free – sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/sasbpfc25.

Join us for an enchanting and uplifting performance as Snail and Slug brave a powerful storm together. Along the way, they encounter moments of fear, humor, and courage, ultimately discovering a deep and lasting friendship.

This interactive show is set to a whimsical score and encourages children to engage actively.

Performed by Fede Collina.
