Only acoustic instruments are played - no electric instruments are used at regular Saturday shows. The only exceptions have been the Johnny Cash show and the Marty Stuart show. Both performed electric benefit concerts to help raise funds for the Center. Tom T. Hall performed a benefit concert as well, although his show was entirely acoustic. On Saturday nights, the dance floor at the Fold comes alive as the audience clogs and buck dances to hoe-down tunes.
Audiences come from all over the United States and foreign visitors attend almost every week.
Shows are family entertainment and alcohol is strictly forbidden. June Carter Cash Hot dogs, soft drinks, ice cream and popcorn are served at the concession stand. T-shirts, CDs, tapes and other items are also available. Local artisans display and sell their crafts, and there's always plenty of food on hand. RV space is available at the Fold, but there are no hookups.
