music and more! The three-day event highlights all the great things from
North Carolina. Gate admission and parking are free, but there are charges
for some of the events within the festival, including the Homegrown Marketplace

generate sales! Wineries may sample and sell their wines. Wine can be
sold by the bottle, but only for off-premise consumption. Breweries may
also sample and sell their beers. The sale of 6-packs, individual growlers
and bombers can only be sold for off-premise consumption. The show
