LANDRUM– On Saturday evening, the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce held the Feed the Foothills Community Food Drive & Music Festival at the Landrum Farmers Market Pavilion. Admission to the festival was free with a canned good donation, and the event attracted community members eager to enjoy music while supporting local families in need.

Originally scheduled to take place at Harmon Field, the festival had to be moved due to the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Helene.

“The impacts of Helene were far-reaching, and the needs will be ongoing,” said Chamber Marketing Manager Olivia Whiteside. “We hope that the success of this event will allow us to continuously support local organizations that serve our communities throughout the year.”

Since its inception, the festival has become a beloved annual event, with this year’s lineup featuring local bands TKO and Black Jack. In addition to live music, the festival included a vibrant craft fair and a Kids Zone, which offered activities such as face painting and various food options.

The festival also featured “Raffle Palooza,” with prizes ranging from gift cards and local experiences to a 2024 Honda Fourtrax Recon ES, won by Cato Junge.

The Chamber expressed gratitude to its sponsors and supporters, including FENCE, Hendersonville Board of Realtors, and other local businesses such as Dreamwinds Equine Assisted Learning Centre and Trade Street Chiropractic.
