A Swannanoa Solstice returns to Asheville to bring joy and light

For the last 22 years, A Swannanoa Solstice has ushered in the holiday season with world-class music, stories, dance and collaborative artistry, bringing joy and light to downtown Asheville on winter’s darkest day. 

It’s a celebration of all that makes Western North Carolina unique — of its people, cultures and traditions, whether Asheville born-and-raised or newly at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. And, for this year’s performance on Sunday, Dec. 22, at a time when the community feels more closely connected than ever before, Solstice offers an opportunity to come together not over grief, but over hope for the future. (as seen in Asheville Scene, 12/13/24)
