Back in 1983 the Dixie Classic Festivals were formed. The festival is open to all performance arts groups including (concert, band, choir and orchestra). This type of open festival is to inspire the growth and artistic expression. Although the festival gives out awards it is purely on a non-competitive basis.They are judged by a group of nationally known adjudicators.
Atlanta happens to be one of the six locations for the festival this year. Hickory High School Orchestra from Chesapeake, VA will be performing in the Dixie Classic Festival on Friday, April 12th. They are staying at Artmore Hotel this weekend and we couldn’t be more excited. We wish them luck and applaud them for their dedication to the Arts. We are sure they will receive many accolades and hope to see them back next year.
Who is ready for a finger licking, bourbon drinking good time? That’s right, The Beer, Bourbon, and BBQ festival is right around the corner. As you stroll from table to table you will be invited to try the forty different bourbons and sixty different beers on tap. Once you have explored the different alcoholic beverages available, visit the other tents for tasty BBQ that will ignite your taste buds. This great event offers a special experience through buying their VIP tickets which allows you to enter their event two hours early, get access to special tastings of bacon, whole hog BBQ, and give you access to special bathrooms and seating. Once your belly is full, you get access to seminars and classes to learn from the pros on how they cook their BBQ. The festival will open to the general public at 2:00pm on March 2nd to all general admission ticket holders.
