Each summer, musicians and string band music lovers converge on a West Virginia mountaintop to camp, play music, sing, dance, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The relaxed, five-day Appalachian String Band Music Festival features contests, concerts, workshops and dances, as well as jam sessions under every tree. It’s an annual pilgrimage for thousands of people from around the world, and a newly discovered treat for hundreds more each year. Copyright 2005, West Virginia Division of Culture and History.
