Thousands of people packed the streets of downtown Winston-Salem every September from 1974 until 1994 for the Carolina Street Scene. Musicians like Muddy Waters, Herbie Mann, and the Earl Scruggs Revue paid the Twin City a visit to perform live.
Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County organized and managed the event. Even though the festival ended three decades ago, the party is still going.
Arts Council and Camel City Goods are teaming up to pay tribute to the festival with a $28 commemorative tee. The design is inspired by one of the first posters that promoted the Carolina Street Scene. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Arts Council to celebrate 75 years of fostering creativity and culture in to the City of Arts and Innovation.
