Old Time Jam and Camping Weekend at Hagood Mill Begins April 19


Hagood Mill will be hosting an Old Time Jam and Camping Weekend, April 19-21, 2024. Gates open at noon on Friday. A concert is planned for that evening in the Heritage Pavilion.

 

The fun continues Saturday from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm with Old Time performances by the Blue Ridge Rounders (Bob & Amy Buckingham, R.D. & Peggy Dean), the Cornbread Heads (David White, Becky Stovall, Don & Barbara Massey), Blue Ridge Gathering (Cody Bauer, Duck Ryan, Jessica Watson), and the Tennessee Hillbuddies, and Bailey George & The Oscillators. Open jams will continue throughout the evening in the campground area after the conclusion of Saturday’s main event.

 

There will be lots of other things to see on April 20 as Hagood Mill hosts a variety of folklife and traditional-arts demonstrations. The mill will be running and grinding a variety of corn and other grain products throughout the day. Food trucks, living history demonstrators, and craft vendors will be set up at various locations around the site. Visitors are welcome to ask the artists and demonstrators questions to learn more about their skills or area of interest, and don’t forget to bring a little extra spending money so you can purchase a traditional arts treasure of your own.

 

Admission to Saturday’s event is $5 per person aged 10 yrs and up. Children 9 yrs and under are free and there is no parking fee. Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate. Please bring your own chairs!

 

Weekend camping passes are available, and the cost is $15 per person for primitive tent and car camping and $35 for RV and travel trailer camping for two people. Additional occupants (if more than two) who may be camping in travel trailers or RVs will need to pay an additional $15 each. These fees include two nights of camping.
