Paris Mountain State Park is working to rebuild its Music in the Woods stage

The Music in the Woods stage was damaged by Helene in fall 2024, and now the park and its supporters are working to rebuild.

Each fall, local and regional artists hit the stage at Paris Mountain State Park for a solar-powered music series, and Music in the Woods has become a Greenville tradition.

Unfortunately in 2024, only three of the eight planned concerts happened after Helene destroyed the park’s stage.

It’s one of the biggest projects Paris Mountain, with the help of Friends of Paris Mountain (a local 501C3 supporting the park), is tackling in 2025.

The group organizes fundraising events, like the Polar Plunge that took place on New Year’s Day and raised $3,400+.
