There will be music at Tir Na Nog on Saturday, February 4 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. with sets by Patrick Phelan (of Luego), Jeff Crawford, Baobab, Magnolia Collective, Driftwood and Juan Huevos. The show is free and open to all ages.

There will also be a market set up at Tir Na Nog featuring art, clothing, jewelry and music from local charities, businesses and artists. There will also be raffles for WKNC merchandise and concert tickets, including tickets for the Hopscotch Music Festival. The market starts an hour before the music, at noon, and will continue until 5 p.m.
