Last year, something rare happened on that November night — an evening so magical, so quietly enchanting, it settled into our memories like a story whispered around a fire. The 2025 Mountain Flavors Festival carried a glow all its own, and in 2026, we’re ready to honor that feeling once more.
Step into an evening where creativity, cuisine, and music meet against the backdrop of our Appalachian hills.
The Mountain Flavors Food Festival is a celebration of artistry — a place where chefs and musicians come together to create experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
For 2026, we’re bringing bold, surprising dishes to the table — flavors you don’t expect to find in the mountains, crafted with imagination and intention. Each course is designed to spark curiosity, invite conversation, and offer something truly original.
And while we’re keeping our musical guests a secret for just a bit longer, you can trust that the artists joining us will bring the same sense of wonder that made last year unforgettable — the kind of sound that wraps itself around an evening and makes time feel slower, sweeter.
Join us once again for a night shaped by community, creativity, and the quiet magic that rises when food and music share the same stage.

And Then Comes Saturday — A Whole Different Flavor
While Friday night wraps you in an intimate, enchanted atmosphere, Saturday brings a completely different kind of magic — bright, bold, and buzzing with energy. Our Mountain Flavors daytime festival is a food-loving celebration where the mountains come alive in an entirely new way.
Spend the day wandering from taste to taste as we showcase beer, wine, and surprising culinary flavors from across the region and beyond. This isn’t your typical food festival — it’s a lively, open-air experience where every booth is a new adventure and every sip feels like a toast to the mountains.
You’ll get the rare chance to let celebrity chefs treat you to cooking demonstrations and unexpected dishes, crafted right in front of you. And all throughout the day, the air will be filled with great music, giving the festival that easy, carefree rhythm that makes you want to stay just a little longer.
This is the side of Mountain Flavors where you kick back, sip something cold, try something new, laugh with strangers, and let the day unfold — a true celebration of food, drink, and community.Tickets: $25 per person
