Events

Don’t be fooled into thinking that our valley is sleepy! We’ve got a lot going on, and we frequently attract a crowd for festivals and cultural events.

Swannanoa Gatherers perform on stage for Celtic Week.

Each year we host a wide variety of cultural events and festivals that are open to the public. Below are just some of the many opportunities on our campus — check our Events Calendar to see what’s happening this month. Interested in hosting an event on campus?
