Most festivals are about the music, the food and the fun… the InterBeing Festival includes all of that, but the focus is on meaning and connection. Individuals from all walks of life are invited to gather, elevate the spirit, relate with others, and explore the power of community.
Through a rich array of interactive workshops, engaging discussions, artistic performances and group ritual, participants will embark on a journey of discovery and connection. Whether singing in a song circle, being part of a cacao ceremony, creating art on the spot or dancing to the rhythm of world music, there will be something for everyone to enjoy and engage with.
The festival will feature an inspiring lineup of speakers, activists and artists; performers include musical headliner Alexander Caruso, along with Adama Dembele, Billy Jonas, and One Heart Band, all of whom are known for catchy tunes and meaningful lyrics.
The festival theme this year is Community: Refuge in a Changing World. To that end, our featured session will be the Community Leaders Roundtable, bringing together community support organizations to be in dialog with each other for the first time, sharing their values, their vision, their challenges and solutions.
The festival is a fundraiser for Beloved Asheville, our scrappy local nonprofit that serves those most in need.

Today, the Herbal Witch may not always live close to the forest, but you likely will find them there, working with the elements and gathering plants and remedies. Herbal Witches have long had a deep love for the plants, roots, seeds, stars and stones and know the medicinal, spiritual and healing properties of all that surrounds them. The wise Herbal Witch enlists nature to heal ailments of the body, mind and of the spirit. They have a remedy for everything under the sun and have likely prepared it by the light of the moon.
Join us in remembering the Herbal Witch within. This weekend course was designed to walk each participant through what it is to practice as an Herbal Witch. Beginning with the History of worldwide Green Witch Traditions, working with the directions & elements to create powerful spells, prayers, magic, rituals, ceremony and song. Deepening our relationships to Mother Nature and the magical and medicinal herbs She provides.
Hosted by Green Witch Lupo Passero & Friends

What do you do when you find you’re facing an insurmountable pile of unfinished creative work? An entire digital archive of ‘maybes?’
To use an Appalachian metaphor, you pan your dirt for gemstones.
This workshop explores what it means to run creative writing through an objective sieve. It provides a framework for tackling the current pile of unfinished work, as well as addressing the indefinite ‘maybes’ of tomorrow.
Learn to sift your mounds of incomplete material, develop self-editing skills, readjust your critical lens, and polish, refine, and complete your precious pieces.
Among peers and in the safety of a validating creative space, writers can anticipate the delight of creative collaboration, the usefulness of constructive feedback, and the thrill of showcasing the rarity and purity of their finest gemstones.

TOUCH-A-TRUCK is an annual community-wide event where both kids and kids at heart have the opportunity to see, touch, and learn about vehicles of all types, including public service, emergency, utility, construction, delivery, and public transportation — all in one place! Guests will meet the drivers and operators of these vehicles. Children will be able to “Truck-or-Treat” during the festival, and family-friendly costumes are encouraged (but not required). There will be a quiet hour from 11AM-noon for individuals sensitive to loud noises. Tickets are $5 per person ages 3 and up and can be purchased online or at the gate. Food and additional activities will be available at Tanger Asheville.
Friends, it is time once again for Asheville’s most fantastical festival of freakiness and fun… The Surreal Sirkus Arts Festival! As always, this is a FREE community event, brought to you by Arts 2 People, the organization that put on LAAFF for 15 years downtown.
This year’s festival will be bigger than ever with three music stages, a community storytelling tent, dozens of art vendors, food, beer and other libations, and of course, the highlight of the evening: the sunset performance by Surreal Sirkus.
The main stage at the Amphitheater in front of City Hall will feature live bands and musicians from Asheville and beyond. It will culminate in the Surreal Sirkus Main Show at 7:30 pm, which will showcase an array of performers, including aerialists, fire spinners, puppeteers, jugglers, dancers, and other circus acts.
This year’s show tells the story of one man’s journey after death, and the beings he encounters along the way. Unifire Theater, Street Creature Puppets, and many other local performance groups will take part in the show.
Also, this year, Arts 2 People has partnered with Create Fest, a local organization bringing diverse communities together through the arts. They will host an Open Mic & Showcase on the Reuter Terrace, from noon until 7 p.m. The terrace will also be home to a number of interactive exhibits and spaces for audience participation.
Meanwhile, at North Pack Square, there will be two more performance areas: an EDM stage on the raised lawn featuring some of Asheville’s finest DJ’s, and a Storytelling Tent located on the site of the former Vance Monument.
The latter is intended as a space for folks from around the region to share their personal stories as a way of bringing the community together in a spirit of healing and greater understanding of each other. (If you have a story you’d like to share, please DM us here or email: [email protected])
And of course the Surreal Sirkus Arts Festival will include more than 50 local vendors showcasing their unique artworks and handmade crafts, as well as food, beer, and mixed drinks, which will be available for sale at the Roger McGuire Green.
The Surreal Sirkus has deep roots in the history of the town’s artistic life. It existed as both an annual event and a performance troupe of the same name from 1996 to 2005, when it was a staple of the city’s underground arts scene. It was resurrected in 2021 for the event’s 25th anniversary with the help of Arts 2 People.
The Surreal Sirkus Arts Festival is made possible by support from our sponsors, including:
Arts 2 People
Arts AVL
Buncombe County
North Carolina Arts Council
Create Fest
Create Inc
Café Canna
The Well
JenBen Media
Raven & Crone
