Gospel Music & Worship Festival · Since 1924
A day of song
on the mountain.
The Gathering
Bring your voice to the mountain. Since 1924, families have climbed into these Blue Ridge meadows to lift old-time gospel into the open air — the longest-running gathering of its kind in the southern Appalachians. This June, add yours to the chorus.
