Winterville is a vibrant little town just outside of Athens that, among many other events, hosts an annual Marigold Festival, for which the town is known. The all-day, family-friendly music and arts festival features a wonderful music lineup, a morning parade and an auto show featuring classic and vintage cars. The musical lineup presents a survey of local music, with performances by Kimberly Morgan York, Claire Campbell, The Welfare Liners, Wonderland Rangers and Cicada Rhythm, just to name a few. The Marigold Festival has been a well-loved tradition held since 1971, with only a few years hiatus. For more information, see the Winterville Marigold Festival insert.
