Gather with us on the land at Hawk & Hawthorne as we settle into the heart of summer -- two days and nights of music, community, and connection beneath sunset skies and fireflies in the mountains just outside Asheville, NC.

We’ll gather on Ritual Hill for a weekend of rhythm, movement, and shared experience -- rooted in the land and alive with possibility.

DIRTWIRE debuts at Hawk & Hawthorne for a full weekend campout with a unique set each night. They'll be joined by Leah Song, EarthCry and a growing circle of artists, facilitators, and friends. David Satori will be performing a late-night solo DJ set Saturday night.

These gatherings are intentionally intimate and capacity is limited. If you feel the call to join us for this weekend on the land, we encourage claiming tickets early and staying for the full campout experience.

==> Featuring

DIRTWIRE

DIRTWIRE is a genre-defying trio known for blending world folk traditions with deep electronic grooves, creating a sound that is both ancient and unmistakably modern. From soaring melodies to dancefloor-shaking bass, their performances invite joyful movement, connection and celebration. This summer campout features two unique DIRTWIRE sets, offering two completely different journeys across the weekend. And, a drum circle around the fire lead by the band, with special guests! And, don't miss a special live DJ Set by David Satori!

LEAH SONG

Leah Song is a singer, songwriter, poet and activist best known as the co-founder of Rising Appalachia. Rooted in Appalachian traditions and inspired by cultures from around the world, her music is both soulful and deeply intentional. Beyond her performance, Leah will join a special Music as Activism panel with David Satori and special guests, exploring how art can inspire healing, resilience and positive change.

EARTHCRY

EarthCry is the solo project of Anthony Thogmartin, co-founder of Papadosio, offering a deeply immersive blend of organic electronica, lush soundscapes and nature-inspired rhythms. Equal parts dance journey and sonic meditation, EarthCry invites listeners into a world where music becomes a bridge between the natural world and our inner landscape. Beyond the music, Anthony's work is rooted in environmental stewardship, weaving his love for the Earth into both his art and his activism. Prepare for a set that is uplifting, immersive and unlike anything else you'll experience all weekend.

⛺ Camping

Camping at Hawk & Hawthorne is primarily tent-based.

Guests may sleep in their vehicle if they choose, but vehicles must remain in designated parking areas. Vehicles are not permitted at campsites, and tents cannot be set up in the parking field because parking space is limited.

You’ll be able to pull near the barn briefly to unload your gear before parking. From there, it’s a short walk to the campsites, so wagons or carts are encouraged.

Please note:
• Limited Oversized Vehicle Passes available. Email us!
• No late-night fires, music, or hangouts in parking areas

🚗 Parking Passes

Parking is our primary limiting factor.

Our lot accommodates a limited number of vehicles, so parking passes help us manage flow without increasing ticket prices.

• Limited parking passes available
• $15 per vehicle
• Carpooling encouraged
• Oversized Vehicle Passes available in very limited quantities. Email us at hawkandhawthorne@gmail.com

Arrive with 4 or more people in your vehicle and we’ll refund your parking pass at the door as a thank-you for carpooling.

Oversized Vehicle Passes are for RVs, camper vans, Sprinters, buses, trailers, and other large vehicles. These passes are limited, and there are no hookups available.

🍽️ Meals

Dinner, breakfast, and lunch will be available for purchase on site made by local favorite Chef Chris.
We will have our pizza oven going late into the night, and a delicious local dinner featuring seasonal, farm-forward offerings.

Habibi Village will also be on site offering freshly made Lebanese flatbreads prepared on a traditional saj oven.

Their menu includes gluten-free options topped with zaatar, Asheville cheeses, organic greens, and Kalamata olives, with vegan and vegetarian options available.
