LINVILLE, N.C. – The mountains will once again be alive with the sound of music as Grandfather Mountain, the not-for-profit nature park run by the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation, hosts “Sounds of Nature – Kids’ Music Day” on Saturday, April 25.
Returning after a successful debut in 2025, the fun-filled, nature-themed afternoon of music will take place in the Williams Outdoor Learning Space, and it is included with park admission. Families can groove to the sounds in nature through an interactive concert celebration, featuring lively performances from the band Acoustic Folklore, eco-themed songs and hands-on activities.
“We had a blast at Sounds of Nature last year, so we are very excited to be bringing it back,” said Lauren Farrell, director of education for the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation. “Whether folks want to learn something new, dance to live music or both, this event provides a fun, educational atmosphere for everyone involved.”
Activities will begin at 1 p.m. and wrap up at 3 p.m. Throughout the event, guests are welcome to visit activity tables around the space, with crafts, special guests and more. The full schedule is below.
“Sounds of Nature – Kids’ Music Day” Schedule:
- 1 p.m.: Storytelling and music from the band Acoustic Folklore
