Explore Elkin We invite you to come and Explore Elkin. A visitor came in search of land to build his family vacation home. It was in the heart of the people.

Come and experience the beauty of the river, bike and hiking trails, arts and music festivals, wineries and breweries, local restaurants, food truck festivals, and much more. He visited many tracts of land over a period of three months in different areas in the state of North Carolina. After he and his family walked the streets of Historic Downtown Elkin enjoying the small town atmosphere, experiencing the various amenities, along with seeing the natural beauty of the area, they knew they found their dream vacation home destination. And much to their surprise they found something beyond what they were searching for in the charming town of Elkin.

Rain or shine, the Get Down goes on! 🌧️🎶
With a little rain in the forecast for tomorrow, we're making a few adjustments to keep things running smoothly and make your festival experience a little easier (and hopefully drier!).
Here's what you need to know for Saturday:
🚧 GATE & SHUTTLE UPDATE: The back gate will be CLOSED. All festivalgoers must enter through the MAIN GATE. Shuttles will now drop off at the corner of Commerce and Bridge Streets, just a short sidewalk walk from the main entrance.
🎻 OLD TIME JAM: We're moving the jam indoors to The Reeves Café! Same time, 12–1:30 PM, just a new spot to gather and pick.
🎨 KIDS AREA: The kids area will now be located on the River Stage lawn.
💧 CREEK STAGE: The creek stage will be closed for the duration of the festival. All acts will be at the River Stage!
A little rain won't stop a good time! Thanks for rolling with us as we make these adjustments. We can't wait to see y'all for another day of Milltown Get Down!

The weight room is also accessible from Elk St.

Fall in Elkin is hard to beat. 🍂 Cooler days, changing leaves, live music, local favorites, and plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy the season.

Check out our latest blog for a local’s guide to fall in Elkin!

Fall is one of the best times to explore Elkin and the transitions that the season brings. The leaves are changing, the air is cooler (shoutout to the subsetting humidity), and local events fill the calendar to bring the town to life. It's the perfect time to get outside, explore, and make memories....
