Board & Committee Members

We, the all-volunteer board behind the Appalachian Festival, pour our hearts and countless hours into organizing and scheduling this beloved event. As we eagerly look forward to celebrating our festival's 54th edition in our new home of New Richmond! We can't help but express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who volunteers to bring this celebration of the mountains to life. Your dedication embodies the mountain-sized passion that fuels our commitment to keeping this event alive, and it's all for our mutual love of the majestic mountains.

Thank you for being a vital part of this incredible journey!
