FolkFest

Celebrate Appalachian culture at FolkFest, a full day of music, tradition, and mountain spirit in the heart of Cumberland Gap! FolkFest was founded in 1974 by the Townlift Committee as an event to highlight folk arts & crafts to promote the historic town of Cumberland Gap. FolkFest has grown into a festival held by your favorite friends with the Guardians of the Gap, celebrating all of the arts, crafts, and rich culture of Appalachia! So join us for this amazing event, celebrating all things that make these beautiful mountains unique!

Kick off the weekend with our Appalachian Supper Friday night, featuring hearty home-cooked flavors and a true taste of the mountains.
