Tommy Jarrell Celebration

Join us as the talented musicians of Almost Irish Band put a festive spin on traditional Celtic tunes and your favorite Christmas-y songs. It promises to be an afternoon filled with joyful music and good company! Mark your calendars and come share in the magic of a Celtic Christmas.

Light up Elkin starts at 5pm, with vendors, shops & restaurants open late, pony rides, train rides, plus trolley and hayride tours. Light Up event welcoming Santa, will be held at the stairway across from 222 E Main Street (same location as last year).

Every year the 1914 Rockford Methodist Church in the historic Village of Rockford hosts a Candlelight Christmas in Rockford. Gena Poovey, professor of music at Limestone College in Gaffney, South Carolina, started the event in 1991. She returns every year to lead the music with her classically trained voice. The music lineup rotates, often including choral groups from Surry Community College and area high schools, as well as bluegrass and gospel groups. Acoustics in the church are amazing, adding to the ambience of this traditional Christmas event.

Come get in the spirit of the season with the enchanting sounds of CandelFirth! CandelFirth is a musical duo that explores traditional Celtic music through unique rhythms, arrangements, and expressions. They will be bringing their talent to the Red Barn Tasting Room to perform their special "unique Christmas music", which can include ancient Irish and Scottish carols that date back centuries, mixed with more modern holiday tunes for a truly atmospheric and heartwarming experience. Come relax by the stone fireplace, enjoy award-winning wines, and soak in the festive atmosphere with this one-of-a-kind musical performance.
