Pritchard Park / 3pm-10pm / Earthtone Soundsystem & WPVM’s own Nighttime Swerve DJs!!! / permit secured / BRING A FRIEND!
For those of you that don’t know…
Earthtone Soundsystem gained notoriety in Atlanta during the mid 90′s for its free outdoor parties in Piedmont Park. Usually on Sunday afternoons, these house music events drew quite a diverse crowd and were truly “for the people”. Hundreds of folks found themselves gathered around the bassbins dancing the afternoon (and evening) away.

This event will be on Saturday instead, but it is still FREE and will surely attract people from all walks of life. Pritchard Park is located right in the heart of downtown Asheville, wedged between Patton Ave and College St. For more information please contact Earthtone Soundsystem.
