Permit secured. Bring a friend. Heck, maybe even this guy will be there again.
Earthtone Soundsystem gained notoriety in Atlanta during the mid 90’s for its free outdoor renegade parties in Piedmont Park. Usually on Sunday afternoons, these house music events drew quite a diverse crowd. Since then the Earthtone DJs have spread out across the US, but their mission remains the same. Crank up the sound system and play some dance music for the masses!
Pritchard Park is located right in the heart of downtown Asheville, wedged between Patton Ave and College St.

There will be a WPVM / MAIN table at this event to help raise awareness about our organziations! Volunteers are welcome to hang out and talk with the public!
