GoFlow for Kidz

We are beside ourselves in excitement over the opportunity to share and grow your community through flow arts, while encouraging outside play.

Come be a part in a flow arts skill share for the kids!
GoFlow will have all prop types available with multiple instructors ready to share and grow with you at whichever level you find yourself!
We’ll have a 15 minute guided learning course spanning multiple props, directed one on one instruction, and awesome group game activities! This is an all ages gathering which includes parents! We ask that children 7 years & under have a guardian present for safety reasons.
These spaces operate on a sliding scale from $15-$25, with discounts for preregistration to whole courses, AND drop-in discount punch cards!
This is a drop-in class so everyone can join at any time, though it is encouraged to commit to the entire course (as it is a community generation experience & the curricula builds off itself).
Come play outside, active and engaged with GoFlow on your Saturday!

Raffle: Each month we will be raffling off an item related to the theme to one lucky family who is in attendance. Stay tuned to the event page for the announcement of the raffle item as the Family Discovery Day approaches.

Mountain Street Dance

Friday evenings: June 24, July 8 & 22, August 5 from 6:30 pm – 9 pm

Always free, always fun!

Enjoy the area’s finest bluegrass musicians, bands, and clogging teams. It’s where the travelers get to interact with the locals! The dance always starts with a circle – joining of hands is the symbol of community. The first movement of the Appalachian American big round dance is the Grand Right and Left. The dancers turn and greet their partners with a “How do you do?” and “Fine, thank you,” and the circle continues. Main Street in front of the historic Haywood County Courthouse is closed and sprinkled with cornmeal to facilitate the shuffling movement of dancing feet. Bleachers are available but you might want to bring a chair or blanket. At the caller’s first yell, the asphalt becomes crowded with many dancers as they kick it up to the mountain music. You will be invited to participate.

2nd Annual Mountain Flow Fest

June 18th & 19th

Join us in Pack Square Park this June for 2 days of workshops in flow arts/circus arts, yoga, & dance!

So it’s FREE to watch?

We aren’t fans of fences; we are working to make flow arts MORE ACCESSIBLE.  So please come, and get excited about what we’re doing.  There will be music throughout the weekend, and lots of dancing.  We’re also offering a unique collection of arts and crafts vendors, many selling flow props that are hand-crafted and hard to find.   There will also be a couple of FREE public workshops daily to support the general public in getting into the flow!

Workshops for children?

The workshops are designed for all ages.   Young people who wish to participate in workshops at Mountain Flow Fest must bring their parent/guardian to sign a release and waiver at the time they register and pick up their ticket.   The festival is free and open to the public: passes are only necessary for workshop participants.
