BRIDGEWATER, VA (Rocktown Now) — Bridgewater Church of the Brethren will hold the first Garden Grow Music Festival on Saturday, October 17 from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

The festival will raise money for the church’s Food Pantry Garden, which reportedly grows over 8,000 pounds of produce each year to give to Rockingham County residents.

Over 20 bands will be performing on four stages spanning genres from choral acts to bluegrass to rock. Local food trucks, vendors, and garden tours will also be available. The event is free.

Donations will be received at the festival via cash, check, Venmo, or credit cards. Those who wish to donate before or after the event can use the link here: Give Now and put “Garden Grow” in the memo line.
