This year’s Moorefields Bluegrass Festival is Saturday, October 11, with five hours of music from 1-6 p.m. on the historic 18th-century Moorefields estate near Hillsborough. It’s an annual event with terrific live music, fun for the whole family – and it’s also a great opportunity to experience the grounds of the estate, whose history dates back to our community’s very beginning.

Aaron previews the festival with former Chapel Hill mayor Pam Hemminger, who’s on the Moorefields board.
