The biannual Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance has been canceled due to COVID-19. The Pittsboro, N.C. event was scheduled for Oct. 8-11, and was set to feature the Del McCoury Band, Rising Appalachia, Donna the Buffalo and more.
“Despite the beautiful summer weather, we encourage music lovers everywhere to wear masks and stay socially distant so we can enjoy the simple things in life again, like dancing with friends at Shakori Hills,” said Carol Woodell, board president, via press release.
"We are putting the pieces together to host a virtual festival October 8 through 11," she continued. This will be a programmatic fundraiser for the Shakori Hills Community Arts Center. We are working on the details and will have a formal announcement of the schedule at a later date.”
Donations to Shakori Hills Community Arts Center, where the festival is held, can be made via PayPal on www.shakorihills.org.
Questions about refunds and other issues can be submitted to shakorihills@grassrootsfest.org.
