Pack your clogs and head on down to the beach for the sixth annual Southern Coastal Bluegrass Festival! The dates have been changed this year to September 20th and 21st. The two day event is held at the Fort Fisher Military Recreation Center in Kure Beach.
Of all of our annual events on Pleasure Island, this is definitely one of my favorites. I enjoy the early morning Gospel on Sunday the most; the music is both sweet and soulful. By late afternoon though, the crowd is ready to dance and it’s a blast to watch the cloggers kick it up or the square dancers (in full costume) do-si-do around the dance floor.
This Bluegrass Festival is truely a family friendly event. There are jugglers who perform walking through the crowd about the lawn, storytelling and loads of unique local arts and crafts for sale. The food is delicious, but if you’ve got a taste for some down home North Carolina Barbeque, get it first, last year they sold out before I could get my plate!
