Party @ The Pond - Music Fest & Low Country Boil

Event date: Sunday, May 28th | 1-7pm       (RAIN OR SHINE) 

Admission: $10/person (Day of pricing: $15/person) | Kids 2 & Under: Free

Admission + Low Country Boil Dinner: $30/person (Day of pricing: $40/person)

We're celebrating our 19th season in Randolph County with our second annual Party @ The Pond! We are delighted to announce that we have once again partnered with the Randolph County Partnership for Children as our event charity where proceeds will directly benefit their organization and help advance their mission of ensuring all children enter kindergarten healthy and ready to succeed in school and life.

Join in the fun and bring a blanket or lawn chair to enjoy six hours of live music, featuring headliner, Band of Oz and two local musicians. When you're feeling hungry, roll up your sleeves to enjoy a low country boil complete with all the fixings or grab all your favorite Orchard snacks from the concession stand. It wouldn't be an MCO event without apple cider donuts and slushies, and they'll be available all day! For guests who would prefer other meal options outside of a low country boil, we will have a variety of sandwiches from Black Lantern Tea Room & Bakery.

Four Saints Brewery will be on site to offer local beer and Cloer Family Vineyards is serving their hand-produced wine, and throughout the event, The Randolph Partnership for Children will be hosting numerous fundraising events for added fun. And NEW THIS YEAR - shagging lessons! Carolina Shag will be engaging the crowd and showing off some moves as Band of Oz takes the stage at 4pm. If you've been wanting to learn to shag, then this is your chance! 

Check out our schedule of events below and come celebrate!

BAND OF OZ

The Band of Oz is one of the most successful groups in the Southeast and continues to get the very best reviews from the top people in the entertainment business. The band was formed in 1967 as a part-time band playing fraternity parties and high school proms all over the South. In 1977, the band went on the road full time. The band now features a full horn section to total a dynamic eight-member group. They perform well over two-hundred shows per year for corporate events, festivals, concerts, wedding receptions, and many other public and private events.

Opening acts:

MACKENZIE WELBORN (1-2:10pm)

Mackenzie is a 17-year-old singer/songwriter from North Carolina who has been playing guitar since she was six and has been singing since she could talk. She writes and performs songs that could be classified as pop and country.

Finn is an 11-year-old singer/songwriter from Greensboro, NC who first picked up a ukulele in 2018 and has been strumming happily ever since, adding guitar in 2019.
