Join us for the return of one of Asheville’s most cherished cultural traditions! The Goombay Festival is a multi-day celebration of Afro-diasporic music, food, art, and culture hosted by the historic YMI Cultural Center. With thousands of visitors and 40+ years of legacy, Goombay offers an exciting opportunity for vendors to engage with the community, showcase their work, and be part of a vibrant cultural experience in downtown Asheville.
