"Getting to be the featured artist for the 2023 Winterville Marigold Festival was a fantastic experience! The festival organizers and the Winterville Arts Council folks were incredibly welcoming and made my first experience selling my work at a festival one to remember. It was surreal seeing my art all over town and helped springboard my involvement in the Winterville art community. Since then I've joined the Arts Council and look forward to being involved in more local art and community events." - Miranda Bellah

Winterville is honored & lucky to have Lisa Mende in the city. Lisa has served as emcee of the Marigold Festival for several years. We absolutely love having her on stage. Last night, Mayor Dodd Ferrelle presented Lisa with a key to the city for all of her contributions throughout the years, volunteering with countless groups sharing her talents in so many ways. Lisa has truly helped our community grow. Congratulations & Thank you Lisa! City of Winterville, Georgia

Saturday, May 11th, on the stage at 5:30pm. The sounds of Grassland String Band will be keeping the party going! Grassland began their journey in late 2012. Beginning as a bluegrass duo, then soon after as a trio with a drummer, the pieces began to fall into place and Grassland String Band was born. A few years later, the band had grown into a multi-generational six-piece band that boasts members with degrees in classical organ, double bass and jazz guitar and a jazz-folk-pop and bluegrass influenced, improvisational live performance style -a hybrid the group called Amerigrass. A banjo, a fiddle and a mandolin on occasion. There is the electric guitar, keys, pedal steel and a drum kit. It’s jazzy, bluesy, soulful, country and rock. It’s something much more, something modern and amorphous. It’s music that crosses generations, crosses genres, and will cross your soul. It just happens. Jody Daniels, Banjo, Guitar, Mandolin; Doug Peters, Electric Guitar; Todd Ferguson, Drums; Adam Poulin, Fiddle; Given Graber, Double and Electric Bass; Leanne Daniels, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Jason Badia, Acoustic Guitar, Banjolele.
