Description:
Pulaski on Main and The Marketplace presents the first Count Pulaski Day on Saturday, September 30, 2023 at Jackson Park.
The Count Pulaski Day Festival will close out our Pulaski Marketplace season and give you one more opportunity to support our wonderful vendors this fall. This event will feature live music performances, local produce and meats, artisan and craft vendors, Pie-Eating Contest, pumpkin painting, alcoholic beverages, food trucks, and fun for the entire family.
Virginia Hollow will perform from 2:00-4:30 PM and Joe Kessinger will perform from 5:30-8:00 PM.
Virginia Hollow is a mixture of Americana, bluegrass, country, indie and rock. A singer-songwriter band that performs songs written by lead singer Carrie Hinkley, along with an occasional handpicked cover or two.
Virginia Hollow is a band and a sound born from the hills, valleys and mountains of Appalachia. Their performances and music take you on a journey fraught with raw emotions and stories of love, trust, betrayal and longing. When all is said and done, the haunting melodies of Carrie Hinkley's soulful voice are hard to shake off and instead keep returning and replaying in one's mind, like an untamed mantra of beauty and tragedy. This is a band whose time has come and needs to be reckoned with.
