This week at the Saxapahaw Rivermill Farmer's Market and Music Series HOOVERVILLE!
A beloved and heralded band whose traditional sensibilities and vintage sounds have evolved into new Americana music territory.

"Hooverville offers wound-up country and down-home bluegrass accompanied by Hank-esque balladry all played out against a backdrop of drinkin’, lovin’ and killin’, like good country should."The Independent



Playing on the Hay Wagon Stage this Saturday May 19th! It's going to be sunny and warm so come on out and have the kids bring their bathing suits!

Our two new cheese sellers are creating a big buzz at The Farmers' Market, Benjamin Vineyards is back with their great selection of locally produced wine, we've got delicious strawberries, great bakers with pastries, foccacia, cookies, breads, and treats, eggs, fresh veggies and produce and delicious jellies, chutneys, honey and more! The Barbecue Joint has set up shop for the summer selling a wide variety of dinners including vegetarian options AND this year we have a growing artisan market with beautiful handcrafted items including pottery, jewelry, wooden toys,birdhouses and furniture.

Every week, CERES (made possible by Bioallies.com) Saxapahaw's local quality of life organization, sets up exciting events and activities for children including the Famous Zipboat ( a kayak on a zipline - low to the ground) the Environmentally Engineered Slip-N-Slide, created in the shape of the Haw River this year complete with tributaries, a new children's musical village, face painting, children's arts & crafts and a weekly kid's parade.

Festivities take place in central Saxapahaw next to the Post Office and across from the Saxapahaw Rivermill every Saturday from 5pm-8pm through the end of August. Admission is free though donations are appreciated, organizers pass around a "Swan Bucket" each week for the band.

The series is sponsored by the Saxapahaw Rivermill and by local businesses including Open Eye Cafe, Fifth Season Gardening, Townsend Bertram and The Barbecue Joint.
