Appalachian Dungeon Fest is a legitimately one-of-its-kind gathering rooted in live dungeon synth and fantasy music, imagined as a communal, ritual-tinged escape from the modern world. For one weekend, ADF invites you far beyond the borders of the familiar and into the ancient mountains of Central Appalachia for a shared experience of community, nature, and of course, synths.
𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲. This event is intentionally not located near metropolitan centers or major transit hubs. The distance, the winding roads, the quiet...they are features, not obstacles.
Think of ADF as a dungeon Summer camp in the mountains: a place to camp, wander, listen, lounge, swim, converse, and simply *be* in the company of the truest of the true.
Held at the iconic and world-renowned Wiley's Last Resort @wileys_last_resort at the top of Pine Mountain, itself an otherwordly and beautiful manifestation of all that is powerful about this region.
We encourage you to go to the link in our bio to learn more about the venue. This isn't some dive bar...it's genuinely the other half of ADF's appeal, only possible deep into the liberating and magical heart of Appalachia.
