Monday Street Dances 2022
at the Visitor Center, 201 S. Main St., Hendersonville, NC
Jun. 27, Whitewater Bluegrass Co. with Mountain Thunder Clogging Demonstration
Jul. 18,
Aug. 1st
Aug 15,
Every other Monday Night
7pm – 9pm
Free
The Street Dances have been a tradition for over 100 years in Downtown Hendersonville! They began in 1918, at the end of World War I, when the city welcomed home its soldiers from the War by celebrating in the streets, and became nationally known.
Come hear the sound of fiddles and banjos playing a wide array of toe-tapping-good mountain music. Street Dances also include square dancing led by a caller and special demonstrations by area clogging teams.

Join us to get your steps in, meet new friends and engage in lively conversation on the Oklawaha Greenway. Walkers meet in the Patton Park parking lot. Walking distances vary, but we are generally done by 11:30. The pathway is paved. Socialized dogs on leash are welcome.
