The Blue Ridge Music Center and The Bluffs Restaurant are bringing together musicians, chefs, farmers, beekeepers, storytellers, and folklorists for the first Fiddle & Fork Festival, Friday, June 12, through Sunday, June 14.
​
This new folklife festival celebrating the music and foodways of the Blue Ridge Mountains is presented in collaboration with the Smithsonian Folklife Festival as part of the “Of the People: The Smithsonian Festival of Festivals,” a nationwide series of programs and exchanges marking the 250th anniversary of the United States and showcasing the country’s cultural landscape.
​
The Bluffs will host a ticketed kickoff dinner party featuring locally sourced ingredients and recipes prepared by guest chefs Jamie Swafford & Keia Mastrianni of Old North Farm. The program includes a conversation with festival grand marshals, Emmy award-winner, food writer, storyteller, and cook Sheri Castle and musician and luthier Wayne Henderson, about the intersection of food, music, and cultural traditions of the Blue Ridge region.
A Rich History
The coffee shop at Doughton Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway welcomed generations of locals and travelers during its original 61 years of operation. Thanks to the support of those devoted patrons and many others, The Bluffs has reopened to welcome diners once again for great home-style cooking.
There is more to Bluffs than just the good food!
Located on the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway, The Bluffs experience continues on from the restaurant to the beautiful recreation area that surrounds it. Enjoy your food alongside mountain scenery just a short hike or a moment's drive away.
