About The Mountain Grrl Experience:

The Mountain Grrl Experience is a free arts and music festival celebrating the creativity and talent of Appalachian women. Held over two days in October at Coal Run City Park, the event gathers artists, musicians, and makers for a weekend focused on connection, inspiration, and community.

Through live music, art exhibitions, hands-on workshops, information booths, panel discussions and educational programs, the festival provides a welcoming space for women across the region to share their voices, skills, and stories.

Each year, proceeds from the Mountain Grrl Experience support organizations that serve women and families in our region. The 2026 event will benefit the Pike County Domestic Violence Coalition, which works to expand community resources and reduce harm caused by domestic violence.

Their Mission:

Our mission is to celebrate and nurture the artistry, creativity, and strength of Appalachian women in a supportive environment.

Appalachian Kentucky Counties Served:

Floyd, Letcher, Pike
