Reidsville Homegrown Festival

Musical entertainment kicks off
Reidsville Festival October 10-11
 
The City of Reidsville, Reidsville Downtown Corporation and Downtown Merchants invite you to attend the 23^rd Annual Reidsville Downtown Homegrown Festival.
 
Reidsville is nestled in the heart of Rockingham County, known as North Carolina's "North Star." Reidsville’s motto is “Live Simply. Think Big.”  And this festival is no exception.
This is the 23^rd year for the festival, and each year it just gets better.  The kick-off concert on Friday night, October 10, at 7 p.m. will start the festivities. Performing will be Carolina Soul and national recording artists Big Daddy Love.
The festival resumes Saturday, October 11, at 10:00 a.m. with all the vendors. This festival will draw thousands of people from across North Carolina and Southern Virginia for entertainment, food, fun and the EZ Street Cruisers Car Show. The antique cars, street rods and classic car show are all sponsored by the EZ Street Cruisers Car Club and will feature more than 300 beautifully restored cars and trucks. Qualified judges will award trophies in more than 34 classes and $1,500 in drawings.  This car show is always a highlight of the festival and the Car Show circuit and is one of the largest in the Southeast.
The Homegrown Festival offers a mix of art, crafts, classic cars, jewelry, fashion accessories, pottery, home and garden decor and much, much more.  You will find your favorite fun festival foods that include: turkey legs, hot dogs, BBQ, gyros, blooming onions, funnel cakes, snow cones, iced coffee, smoothies, fudge  and, of course, ice cream, to name a few. Vendor space is still available.  Forms for registration are located at www.ci.reidsville.nc.us. Look for Homegrown Festival.
This year the children’s area is being expanded and includes an all new event Touch A Truck.  What child does not like to climb a fire truck, climb in the back seat of a police car or sit on a tractor? With Touch a Truck they will have that opportunity! Other children's activities include pony rides, games and the Kingdom Kidz Zone. Make sure you bring your lawn chair and secure your place at Market Square for an exciting and full day of musical entertainment that includes children’s performers Big Bang Boom, local artist Country Kimberly, gospel performers, SC Broadcasters, Jazz and R&B by Sweet Dreams and, back by popular demand, Eric and the Chill Tones.
Set the date, invite your friends and begin your weekend at the Kick-Off concert beginning at 7 p.m. Friday night! Return Saturday 10AM-10PM for music, food and lots of Homegrown Fun.
