Back by popular demand, Lake James State Park and the Catawba Valley Astronomy Club will be co-hosting the Annual Statewide Star Party. Learn some basic star gazing tips and take home your own star chart. There will be telescopes and binoculars set up for viewing the night sky, but feel free to bring your own if you have them. Folding chairs are also recommended. We will meet in the upper parking lot of the Paddy’s Creek Area at 7:45 p.m. and get things rolling as soon as it gets dark and stars and planets start showing themselves.
In addition to world-class music, art, and great food, music festivals provide the amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in the fest experience by camping on site. Whether you’re a festival virgin or an experienced festiphile, you’ll want to join us for an epic conversation on what to do — and what not to do — to up your festival camping experience.
Why’s it epic? Lifelong LEAFers and LEAF Community Arts Board Members Gary Broome, James Fisher, and Robert Todd will be sharing decades of advice! From choosing your tent to finding your tribe to making the most of the music schedule to fun and functional campsite decor, the trio will help elevate your game.

We’re so excited to have local author and illustrator Holly Myers with us to read from her children’s book: Goodnight Asheville. This is a beautiful picture book filled with bright illustrations of our city’s favorite attractions, museums, historial landmarks, and other points of interest. There is even a key in the back to learn a bit more about each of these places if you want to take a deeper dive. This is one of our favorite local books and we can’t wait to celebrate with Holly!
