Founded in 1991, The Swannanoa Gathering is Warren Wilson College's continuing education program of summer folk arts workshops held on our campus in the Swannanoa Valley near Asheville in the heart of North Carolina's beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Each week represents a different instrument and/or musical style (Traditional Song Week, Celtic Week, Old-Time Week, Guitar Week, Contemporary Folk Week, Mando & Banjo Week, Fiddle Week).

In addition to the summer programs, each spring they sponsor the Celtic Series of Mainstage Concerts at the Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville's arts & education center, Pack Place, featuring some of the world's finest Celtic musicians.
