Come to Waynesville for one of the Mountain Street Dances in the upcoming weeks and try local cuisine at FLPH. Call 828.456.1930 for reservations.

Mountain Street Dances

Dances are held Friday evenings, 6:30 – 9:00 pm, in front of the historic Haywood County
Courthouse. The Main Street area, immediately in front of the courthouse, is closed to traffic and
parking at 5:00 pm. Instead of the usual cars‚ attendees will find a stage, bleachers, and asphalt
covered with a thick dusting of corn meal to create a dance area. Bring a lawn chair or blanket,
limited bleacher seating is available. Bring your dancin’ shoes but please leave pets at home as
they are not allowed by Town ordinance. Light refreshments are available at the venue for
purchase and downtown restaurants are open for dinner. Lively instructions are given by master of
ceremonies and dance caller, Joe Sam Queen, who throughout the evening teaches audience
members some basic square dancing in the traditional Appalachian style. Each night features a
bluegrass band, performances by a local clogging team, & intermission entertainment by The
Trantham Family. Waynesville’s mountain street dances are featured in the Blue Ridge Music
Trails of North Carolina guidebook, a project of the NC Arts Council and the Blue Ridge National
Heritage Area Partnership.
