 Arts
and Culture
Boone NC is a culturally vibrant city. The
diversity and influence of Appalachian State
University combined with the Appalachian Heritage that has been exceptionally
preserved through shows like Horn in the West makes Boone North Carolina a cultural
destination. Boone is filled with
galleries, museums, concert venues and so much
more!
 Summer
is the most popular time in the High Country
mountains for entertainment as
Appalachian State University’s Appalachian
Summer Festival kicks into full swing. This summer
long event lasts through the months of June
and July and brings famous artists in the realms
of music, dance, and theatre to the High Country
Mountains. All of the Appalachian State
University Summer Festival Events are popular
events; in fact, last year the Appalachian Summer
Festival in Boone brought more than 25,000 fans
to its events! For tickets to the Appalachian
Summer Festival in Boone NC, an event named one
of the “Top 20 Events in the Southeast” by the
Southeast Tourism Society, contact the
Appalachian State University Office of Arts and
Cultural Programs. The schedule of events for
the upcoming Boone NC Appalachian Summer
Festival is always announced several months in
advance.
Also running in the summer is the
legendary “Horn in the West” outdoor drama that
many have come to love and appreciate. Since
1952, visitors have enjoyed the “Horn in the
West” show at the outdoor amphitheatre located
adjacent to the Daniel Boone Native Gardens and
park. This great show is always a fun event to
check out, and always a hit for the whole
family. In addition to the show, visitors can
tour the Hickory Ridge Homestead, Boone’s
“living history museum” that offers a glimpse of
what life was like for the early settlers
in the mountains.
If local art is more your thing, head over to
the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts, in
downtown Boone. Filled with unique works from
local artists as well as touring exhibits,
Boone’s Turchin Center is a place you must check
out! If you are heading to the mountains for the
weekend, enjoy the 1st Friday night in Boone by
browsing tons of affordable local art at the
downtown Boone Art Crawl event. Local
restaurants and galleries open their doors to
welcome art lovers who have come to mingle and
enjoy the art and live entertainment. Yet another
popular art event in the summer is Blowing
Rock’s Art in the Park events which take place
each month, weather permitting, in the downtown
Blowing Rock
NC park.
