The cars that normally line the downtown main street will be replaced with vendors, food trucks and performance stages. The shops will have their doors open to welcome thousands of guest to eat, drink and join in the spirit of tie-dye and music. Mount Holly’s love for music and art is evident by its number of murals, art galleries and music based businesses. Founded in 1688, the only thing that may pre-date this town’s love for the arts is the love of a good pint. The city is now proud to be the home of two craft beer breweries.
