The bi-annual Lake Eden Arts Festival begins Thursday, May 12 at Camp Rockmont in Black Mountain. The family-friendly mountain festival, now in its 16th year, features arts & crafts, live music, dancing, poetry, culinary arts, healing arts, and children's activities.
This Spring's diverse live music line-up includes opening night with Josh Phillips Folk Festival and Sol Driven Train; Maceo Parker, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo (awesome kid's hip-hop), and Crowfoot Friday; Grammy winning Afropop vocalist Angelique Kidjo, Tab Benoit's Voice of the Wetlands Allstars, Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion, Ferro in the Dark, and Spam Allstars Saturday; and Acoustic Syndicate and Ricky Skaggs Sunday.
