    Music is a natural part of these mountains, practically inseparable from those who call this special place home. The Southern Highlands have a rich and varied tradition of old-time string band music, ballad singing and bluegrass. Experience authentic music of the mountains by joining us on Sundays at the Roanoke Mountain Picnic Area to enjoy a free concert. 

    Bring a comfortable chair or blanket, a picnic and plenty of drinking water. Alcohol is prohibited. Wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to avoid sunburn. Concerts may be canceled in the event of inclement weather. For more information, call (540) 745-9680 weekdays or (276) 952-2345 on weekends.
