All spring and summer, musicians from around the region gather at Metamora’s Grist Mill to pick, sing and make a little music together.

And they’ll be at it again during the Metamora Music Festival!

🎻 Sunday at 1 PM at the Grist Mill

Come listen, tap your toes, or bring an instrument and jump right in.

You never know what you’ll hear!🎶

This is the 28th year of the Metamora Music Festival at Lane's End. In that time music has sprouted all over town!!🎶

As you’re wandering around town, shopping, eating and exploring, keep your ears open — you never know where you might find a little music!

🎵 Buskers will be playing around town
🎵 Stop by the The Sap Bucket for more live music on their new stage

On Sunday morning, make your way to the gazebo for a special outdoor music service by Boundless Ways of Grace — a beautiful way to start the last day of the festival. 🌿🎶

So wander a little. Shop a little. Listen a littles. Support the town as we continue flood recovery.

Music is all around Metamora this weekend!.

Note: we are currently confirming additional stages. We will post about those once we know more.

An Ode to the Pork Chop 🐷🎶

There will be fiddles.

There will be banjos.

There will be guitars.

And then there is THE pork chop.

The Metamora Lions Club pork chop is served next to the stage during Metamora Music Festival at Lane's End.

The pork chop people drive miles for.

Come for the music.

Stay for the pork chop.

Or let's be honest some of us...

Come for the pork chop and enjoy the music while we're here. 😂🎻

Pork chop photo is random pic from the internet. Metamora pork chops are eaten too quickly to pose.
