Still Here Fest is a celebration of the resilience of the Western North Carolina community. After the horrific events of Hurricane Helene, cities like Asheville and many others in the region saw firsthand the power and the strength of love and empathy. Spearheading the relief efforts, groups like Beloved Asheville and so many others dropped everything to serve, care for, and feed their community, neighbors, friends, and strangers alike. At the front of many of these relief efforts were the artists and musicians, putting aside their creative drive to take time to bring food, water, and other life-saving supplies to those in need. Still Here Fest 2025 is in recognition of not only the efforts of these groups and individuals but also the resilient spirit of Western North Carolina. We survive, we thrive, we are still here.

 

Ten of the very best bands our region has to offer will be performing over two days (September 19-20) at Fleetwoods. All proceeds will be donated to the wonderful folks at Beloved Asheville. Come out and support our amazing music scene and incredible community, and remind yourself that, despite all that is wrong in the world, we did something right together. We look forward to seeing you there!

 

Still Here Fest 2025 is presented in conjunction with Beloved Asheville, Fleetwoods, and Small Doses.
