29th Annual Appalachian Heritage Festival

For 29 years, the Shepherd University Appalachian Heritage Festival has shared the diverse culture and history of our region through workshops and concert performances by our region's most outstanding cultural ambassadors. This year we have teamed up with Experience Shepherdstown to share a whole weekend of arts experiences in the heart of one of America's best small towns.

Saturday, September 13, experience a day of FREE workshops, demonstrations, and opportunities to learn about Appalachian music and history featuring West Virginia old-time musician Ben Townsend, bluegrass banjoist Joshua Jimmerson, dancers Kim Forry and Jan Scopel, West Virginia sotrytelling legend Bil Lepp, and more. Activities will all be held either on the outdoor stage on King Street or in Reynolds Hall auditorium (109 N. King Street).
