Simon Sorghum Festival

Held from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Immerse yourself in the rich rural heritage of Appalachia. Breathe in the sweet steam of old-fashioned sorghum syrup and watch the entire process of sorghum making from cane harvest, to a finished mason jar of goodness. A variety of Appalachian artisans will be demonstrating rural Appalachian arts and agrarian skills/ The heartbeat of the event, however, is the confluence of traditional musicians who gather at the Festival to play old-time Appalachian music. Free to the public.
