West Virginia's 10 Best Events and Festivals this August — theculturetrip.com

Lewisburg’s Carnegie Hall – one of four functioning Carnegie performance centres left in the world – is one of West Virginia’s most prestigious and most beautiful venues. The annual Ivy Terrace concert series, which runs every other Thursday evening through the summer, sees a wide range of musicians play free concerts in the hall’s garden. On 31 July, just before the town’s Literary Festival, you can catch covers band Trio Grand, whilst on 14 August the lawn is given over to the funky Possum Holler Glee Club.
