Feast on Irish-Appalachian flavors and watch viral sensation Zeb Ross clog! Fontana Village honors dance legends this St. Patrick’s Day.

Known for his lively footwork, signature blue overalls, and infectious energy, Zeb Ross has become a modern ambassador for Appalachian dance. Together with the J Creek Cloggers, based in Haywood County, North Carolina, Ross celebrates the deep-rooted culture of Southern Appalachian-style clogging, connecting past and present through rhythm and movement.

The event, hosted at the historic Fontana Village Resort & Marina, will honor the region’s rich dance heritage with a special tribute to Bill Nichols, “The Grandfather of Modern Clogging.”
