Get ready to groove because something truly special is happening this July in Black Mountain, NC!

Picture this: three days filled to the brim with soulful blues music echoing through the streets, with mountain views and some of the best food in the state.  This year will be the inaugural Black Mountain Blues Festival. From July 12th to 14th, downtown Black Mountain, NC will transform into a blues lover’s paradise, with talented artists gracing multiple stages and venues. 

This event is the collaboration of LEAF Global Arts and White Horse Black Mountain, two local non-profits with a passion for community, and a deep appreciation for music. Together, they’re bringing you an unforgettable Blues Experience that’s set to become a yearly tradition.  The lineup is going to be amazing, so stay tuned for the full details coming soon.   

Did you know that Blues music laid the foundation for many other genres of American music, including jazz, rock and roll, and rhythm and blues? Its distinctive chord progressions, lyrical themes, and improvisational nature have deeply influenced 

Now, let’s talk passes. Whether you want to elevate your experience with the VIP treatment or soak in all the bluesy goodness with a 3-day pass, they have you covered. With perks like early entry, VIP lounges, and exclusive swag, you won’t want to miss out on the VIP Experience.

They also have special deals for LEAF Global Arts and White Horse Black Mountain members so be on the lookout for your member emails from both groups.
