The inaugural Cheerwine Festival was held in 2017, and it has quickly become a popular annual event. Last year’s festival drew more than 60,000 visitors to the city, located about 40 miles from Charlotte.
“We’re thrilled to welcome guests from across the country to the seat of Rowan County and the birthplace of the South’s favorite cherry soda,” Karen Alexander, mayor of Salisbury, said in a statement. “Our beautiful historic downtown provides the perfect backdrop for all the incredible programming throughout the day, and attendees will see firsthand why this has become one of the most popular festivals in the South.”
