Grassroots Music Festival

The 7th annual Grassroots Music Festival is being hosted on Friday nights at the Evergreen Church of Salem. Every Friday night this April (April 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th), Evergreen Presbyterian Church will be hosting the 7th annual Grassroots Music Concert Series, a series of free concerts all starting at 7 p.m. From its inception, the Grassroots Music Festival has been the only festival in Salem solely dedicated to the celebration of local, original music. Any or every Friday night in April, bring your friends and enjoy the incredible musical and artistic talents in a family-friendly environment.

The Grassroots concerts are designed to celebrate the Salem community, to allow you to sit back and think, "Wow, Salem is a great place to live; there's some cultural creativity at work here." With the Grassroots Music Concert Series, Evergreen Church is recognizing that God, by His common grace, is involved with Christians and non-Christians alike, giving people creative gifts and talents. We want to step back and give glory to God for the good things we see happening in the Salem community.
