Rain or shine, it’s going to be a beautiful day.
In the event of inclement weather, most activities—including performances—will move indoors. If the weather is kind, we’ll also enjoy gathering outside across the beautiful grounds. Either way, we look forward to celebrating together.

The Earth Day Celebration takes place at the breathtaking Appalachian South Folklife Center in Pipestem, West Virginia. Nestled along Route 20 between Athens and Hinton, the center spans acres of stunning mountain landscape and carries a deep legacy of music, community, and activism.

Founded by poet and activist Don West in the 1960s, the Folklife Center has long been a place where art, culture, and social change meet. That spirit is still deeply felt today in the meaningful work and gatherings that continue on this land.

We’re honored to celebrate in this special space and help carry forward its rich traditions.
