Olde Tyme Music Festival Celebrates 10 Years This Weekend


Hendersonville, North Carolina�s charming Downtown will host the 10th Annual Olde Tyme Music Festival on Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4. This popular free event draws visitors from throughout Western North Carolina and Upstate of South Carolina. The event will be held rain or shine on both days. Saturday festival hours are from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

Last year�s show brought more than 40 old-time musicians and musical groups from the southern Appalachians to play for the public on the beautiful tree and flower lined sidewalks of the 16-block area of the Historic Downtown. In addition, many of Hendersonville�s over 120 unique retail shops and restaurants welcome performers into their stores to play during the event.

The Olde Tyme Music Festival is organized and directed by Jan Hranek, who founded the event. Downtown Hendersonville, Inc. sponsors the annual festival, which has become a much-anticipated weekend for families to come and enjoy real old-time music, featuring lap and hammered dulcimer, banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, auto harp and more.

Hendersonville�s Historic Downtown, with its tree-shaded wide sidewalks, comfortable benches and charming shops is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and makes a perfect venue for this popular annual event.
