Bluff Mountain Festival

Foot-tapping bluegrass and old-time music, a silent auction of beautiful regional items, an artists’ market, good food, a beautiful setting, and much more make the Madison County Arts Council’s Bluff Mountain Festival a special community event. This year’s annual festival will be held June 14, 2025, from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. on the grounds of the Hot Springs Resort and Spa in Hot Springs, NC. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs for seating.
