So, we have been getting word that folks are still finding out about the second Harp Gathering being held in Black Mountain, NC. We're doing our best to get the word out and since this festival is new to the area, we've decided to extend the Early Bird Registration postmark deadline, this year, until August 15, 2024. This will give folks who are just now learning about the Harp Gathering being held in Black Mountain, NC a chance to register under the Early Bird registration and get the benefit of saving $100 off the Full Harpist Registration price.
Also, if you can't attend the whole festival we do have daily rates available too. The Daily Registration form is now posted on the Registration Page. Oh, and anyone wanting to advertise in our Souvenir Program, there is also a form posted on the Registration Page for that too!
