An eclectic mix of rock, blues, folk, bluegrass and world music will echo throughout Starbridge Retreat in Lumpkin County as the 10th annual HemlockFest gets underway. HemlockFest is a family-friendly event that allows visitors to come for a day, or camp out for the weekend. While on the 50-acre private resort in the foothills of the Appalachians participants can listen to almost 20 bands, duos or single artists from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.
