Destination: Cedar Mountain
CMMP is Proud to Support These Local Series:
The Cedar Mountain area is an activity packed destination for local residents as well as visitors from all over the world!
We boast the benefits of having the best playground in WNC, DuPont Forest! Outside of the natural interests, Cedar
Mountain is home to the best restaurants, golf courses, and markets in Transylvania County! Not to mention the first distillery,
Cedar Mountain Moonshine!
With the rising amount of rentals
transitioning to short-term vacation stays, Cedar Mountain has become quite the popular destination!
Our Mission
The Cedar Mountain Music Project is a NC non-profit 501(c)3 that was created to support locations in the community that host local music events at low or no cost to the public. Live music is an integral part of socializing and healing post-pandemic and post-disaster. The CMMP aims to help continue the growth of music culture such as Old Time dances, youth performance opportunities, and music series for locals and visitors in our Cedar Mountain corridor.
In response to the recent natural disaster that impacted Cedar Mountain, our board called an emergency meeting to modify the Cedar Mountain Music Project mission to incorporate a deep commitment to providing support for our small businesses that were flooded during Hurricane Helene.
Our businesses in Cedar Mountain provide a multitude of opportunities for musicians to perform, teach, and work which impacts our small mountain economy. We have always used the funds raised by CMMP to help our local businesses have opportunities and settings for musicians to perform. Our revised mission aims to retain community resilience by offering assistance during times of crisis and raising funds for disaster relief efforts, ensuring that our local economy can recover and thrive.
COMMUNITY-WIDE
OPPORTUNITY
Cedar Mountain businesses have grown to serve up live music almost every day of the week at various locations! There’s a little something for everyone with an eclectic range of talents from jazz to Old-Time bluegrass events and dances.
