Music Festival -A Model for Raising Awareness About Sustainability

Appalachian State University graduate and local entrepreneur Jimmy Hunt ’09 manages a local music festival that operates as a model for raising awareness about sustainability, while also providing Appalachian students with invaluable on-the-job training to complement classroom lessons.

Music on the Mountaintop is an ecologically driven, large-scale music festival that features several popular bands and musicians and specializes in providing educational awareness on current environmental issues. Hunt worked with the Center for Entrepreneurship to launch the first annual festival in 2008. “We are very proud of what Jimmy has accomplished, and continue to work with him to this day,” says Bryan Toney, Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship.
