Bluegrass festival returns for 9th year
TITUS, Ala--A September 26th event will offer attendees a chance to relax in the shade and enjoy live bluegrass music. Barbecue, arts and crafts, children’s activities and door prizes will also be part of the ninth annual Titus Bluegrass Festival to be held on the grounds of the Titus Community Center.
A large turnout is expected this year, according to Tom Hinton, president of the festival committee. “We’re looking forward to another fun and successful bluegrass festival,” he said. “We’ll also have some of the best barbecue around, as well as homemade cakes and cookies and other concessions.”
Family-oriented fun and entertainment will be the order of the day. Banjos, mandolins, guitars and bass fiddles will take center stage from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This year’s acts will include Southern Gentlemen, East Wind, the Bluegrass Biscuits, and Kelli Johnson and Friends.
“The location is comfortable in a well-shaded area,” he added. “People only have to bring their own lounge chairs. And, no alcohol or pets are permitted.”
Admission for the day is $5 for adults and children under 12 get in free. The festival is a rain or shine event.
The Titus Community Center is located approximately 10 miles north of Wetumpka on U.S. Highway 231, then north on County Road 29. Proceeds will be used for continued restoration and improvements to the Titus Community Center, which was built in 1928.
The community center is used for quarterly potluck suppers and community meetings, such as wedding receptions, church parties, birthday and anniversary celebrations, and many more. It is also available for rent for reunions, receptions, parties and other gatherings.
“This festival would not be possible without support from local businesses and community members,” Hinton said.
