Join us for the kick-off to the year-long celebration of Rowan Arts & Ag! In honor of NC Beer Month, Rowan’s original, homegrown breweries, New Sarum Brewing Company and Morgan Ridge Railwalk Brewery & Eatery, will be onsite offering up cold brews and good times along with area wineries.

Live performances of “Newgrass” music will occur at two locations throughout the festival. The main stage, located in Gold Hill Mines Historic Park Amphitheater, will include performances by Lauren Light Duo (3:00 – 4:00 p.m.), Lilly Brothers (4:30 – 5:30 p.m.), and Sassafrass (6:00 – 8:00 p.m.). In between performances on the main stage, stroll on over to Gold Hill Village where a secondary stage will be located behind Bakery, Baskets & Gifts.

Festivities will also include a hand-crafted artist vendor area. Interested artisans should apply at www.RowanArtsandAg.com. The festival has something for everyone in the family with strolling entertainers, kids’ activities and much more! We invite you to “Be an Original” and spend family fun weekends this year getting to know Rowan County, its artists and its farms.
