2025 Music & Dance events are back outside at the Folk School this season!

For 100 years people have gathered at John C. Campell Folk School to sing, dance, create, and learn. Communities intersect in Brasstown, brought together by a shared passion for lifelong learning, traditional music, Appalachian craft, and folk dance. Each spring we celebrate the return of pleasant weather by offering weekly music and dance events outside.

Festival Barn will be our venue for most concerts, May through Fall Festival, Oct 4-5.  On occasion they may be indoors for special circumstances.

Check folkschool.org/concerts for the latest. Concerts are on Monday nights in 2025 to avoid conflicts with other events. Weekly we come together to celebrate acoustic-based roots music, various cultures, and the stories that accompany traveling musicians.

Open House will be home base for the weekly Community Tuesday: Dance & Socials at 7 p.m. for the months of May and June. Dance venue, schedule, and lineup details are located at folkschool.org/dances The covered pavilion by the Folk School Gardens draws families and locals to congregate and socialize, creating a more festive vibe. At Open House we often offer a campfire and s’mores to sweeten the deal.
