About
Get ready for a jam-packed day full of great ‘cue, local brews and toe-tappin’ bluegrass music on Fayetteville Street.
'Cuegrass is a celebration of two of North Carolina's cultural assets: barbecue and bluegrass music. More importantly, it is a fundraiser supporting local children's causes. Each year, 100% of the proceeds from food and beverage sales, fast passes, The Pit merch and the silent auction are donated to our chosen beneficiaries for that year.
Once again, 100% of the funds raised at ‘Cuegrass will go directly to our beneficiaries: SAFEchild and the Occoneechee Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
