Beats of bluegrass and other music will reverberate throughout Sautee Village as the First Friday Music Pickin’ get going May 5.

The free springtime event will be from 6-9 p.m. Friday in front of the stores at Sautee Village as local musicians gather to delight the audience. The parking lot will be blocked off for the festivities at 2454 Ga. 17 in Sautee.

Visitors may bring their instruments if they want to play. For spectators, lawn chairs are recommended.

The event is dog-friendly, especially since the event is a fundraiser for the Charles Smithgall Humane Society and Animal Adoption Center. Volunteers from Smithgall will host a silent auction and sell desserts. All those proceeds go to the center.

Folks may bring desserts for the dessert booth. Other food will be available for purchase as plenty of Cinco de Mayo fare will be available from Sheilah’s Village Market.

Stonewall Creek Vineyards Wine Tasting Room will sell wine and beer for drinks.
