Community Calendar

Get ready to get into Arkansas roots all season long with Mount Sequoyah’s 2025 Music on the Mountain Series! Any donations will go to support Mount Sequoyah's continued community programing. This season again features a stellar lineup of talented Arkansas musicians! Mark your calendars and grab your blankets because the music starts flowing on April 25th and lasts until October 17th! Experience a diverse musical tapestry exploring Ozark and Americana roots. Most Music on the Mountain concerts will open with local emerging artists as a part of an ongoing effort to connect young performers to professional musicians for hands-on guidance.

This concert will be outdoors at our scenic Vesper Point. Seating will be provided but feel free to bring blankets and or chairs of your own. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will move across campus, into Clapp Auditorium. This will be communicated to ticket holders via email as well as on our social pages.
Please, no outside food or drink. We will have drinks available and this year, you can add a large pizza to your ticket!
