The 3rd Annual Ville City Blues Festival brings the soulful grit and groove of the Blues Is Alright Tour to the Crown Theatre at the Crown Complex in Fayetteville. This annual event brings together classic American music and modern R&B from today's artists, with Tucka, Pokey Bear, Lenny Williams, West Love, Tonio Armani, EJ Jones, Mike Clark Jr., Stephanie Luckett & the YP Band, and Henry Welch. Enjoy their high-energy talent, rhythm, vocal abilities, and crowd-pleasing music.

In FTCC Fine Arts Presents The Sound of Music, a community-based production of the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein classic brings beloved songs such as "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favorite Things" to life onstage. The Fayetteville Technical Community College student company, along with local performers, has produced a show that intersperses classic storytelling and classical music to celebrate family, courage, and song. The FTCC production affirms the College's commitment to providing arts education and working with other community figures and organizations.

Library Program: Butterfly Garden invites families and nature lovers to flutter into the world of butterflies with Cape Fear Botanical Garden's environmental educators.

It's a fun, educational way to connect with nature and learn how to create welcoming spaces for pollinators right in our community.
