Henderson County’s first annual Winter Ramble , a new countywide celebration of American mountain music rooted in front porches, churches, and intimate rooms across the Blue Ridge. Rather than a fenced-in festival, the Winter Ramble is designed as a wandering weekend, with music unfolding naturally in breweries, galleries, cafés, and small stages throughout the community.
The Chatham Rabbits Waverly Takeover is a guest-only, weekend-long experience, available exclusively to those staying at the Waverly Inn during Winter Ramble weekend. It’s built around time with long sets, shared meals, and space for real connection with the artists and one another.
