UPCOMING CULTURAL EVENTS NEAR THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN

The high season of the High Country around North Carolina's Blue Ridge Parkway is almost upon us. Before long our celebrated fall foliage season will begin, but we say farewell to summer in a big way up around Celo Mountain.

Burnsville, NC, boasts the oldest continuously running summer theater in North Carolina, The Parkway Playhouse - now in its 64th season. The world premier of The Ballad of Tom Dooley, the musical of a local legend, just ended this weekend to rave reviews. Pride and Prejudice is the theatrical valediction for the season August 24th- September 4th.

August 28th is Altapass Orchard's All-Stars Encore Show... Again - showcasing unbelievable local musical talent.

August 28th the Carolina Barn Dance presents The Folsom Prison Gang - a Johnny Cash tribute band from Western North Carolina. The band produces quality live performances that recreate the popular vintage sounds associated with Johnny Cash's music.

September 4th the Carolina Barn Dance presents Kat Williams - a jazz, blues and R&B singer that always leaves her audience screaming for more.



September 10th and 11th the historic town square of Burnsville will host the Carolina Mountain Literary Festival, which will have over 25 authors, poets, playwrights, and historians as well as writing, papermaking and bookmaking workshops ongoing simultaneously at businesses around the town square. This popular event attracts thousands of book lovers from all over Western North Carolina and beyond.

September 25th is the Old Timey Day - This is a celebration and preservation of our heritage. There will be demonstrations of yesterday's crafts, traditional mountain music, clogging, antique tractors and cars, games, food and much more.


The temperature cools, the wild turkeys forage along the back roads, and the mountains begin their patchwork turn of colors. What a perfect time to snuggle up on a porch hammock, read in a porch rocking chair or swing, start the first fire of the season in your cabin or mountain home within the sanctuary setting of The Cove at Celo Mountain. Three miles of manicured hiking trails, trout ponds, water falls, streams, creeks, a camp area for residents and their children or grandchildren, and 4 outdoor living and cooking areas await residents of this private gated community outside of Asheville, NC. Browse our selection of Black Mountain Homes, Cabins and Mountain Properties. Come enjoy our dramatic mountain views and deep cultural heritage in a part of America that reclaims the simplicity and warmth of small town living and rivals the offerings of big city authenticity and excellence in arts, music and culture.
