This is the fourth annual Earth Day Festival presented by LLyniuM entertainment, in cooperation with the Appalachian South Folklife Center.

    The 2008 festival will take place April 19th from 11am-11pm and will include music and dance performances, a panel discussion, a

nature hike, recycled art activities, a planting project and a bean dinner. The event will be followed by an “All Night Open Mic,” the first of a monthly series.

     All this will take place at the beautiful Appalachian South Folklife Center in Pipestem, West Virginia. The ASFC is "a progressive, nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to a mountain heritage of freedom and self-reliance; a peaceful place where people of all ages, races, faiths and origins can share community work and creativity. " The center has always been full of music and activism, so the Earth Day festival has found a perfect home.

     Guests are welcome to camp for a small charge to benefit the Folklife Center.
