The Fray is coming to Bailey Park during the 5th Annual SummerLark benefit concert this summer.
Looking ahead, the downtown amphitheater is slated to open in spring 2027, bringing even more big names to the Twin City.
The Southern Charm at The Farm spring date has been scheduled. The seasonal outdoor market will take place at Farmington Dragway in Mocksville on Saturday, April 11, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bring $5 cash for entry and shop from nearly 100 local and regional artisans, makers, and crafters.
