Get Your Hands Dirty in Eden!
Calling all kiln-fire fanatics and decor devotees! The 23rd Annual Piedmont Pottery Festival is rolling back into beautiful Eden, North Carolina, and it’s shaping up to be a total “clay-cation.”
On Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 9 A.M. to 3 P.M., the First Presbyterian Church transforms into a ceramic wonderland. Score unique, handcrafted treasures from elite potters across NC and Virginia, watch live demonstrations, and maybe even snag a door prize!

Oink & Ale 2026
2026-06-20 18:00 - 21:00 | Oink & Ale, 629 Monroe St,, Eden, NC, 27288, United States
Pigs, Pints, and Power Ballads: Eden’s Oink and Ale!
If your idea of a perfect Saturday involves a cold craft brew in one hand, a rack of ribs in the other, and a sudden, inexplicable urge to air-guitar to “Take It on the Run,” then clear your schedule. On June 20th, the charming streets of Eden, NC, are transforming into a carnivore’s paradise for the 10th Annual Oink and Ale!
From 6 to 9 PM, Monroe Street becomes a sensory playground. We’re talking local craft brewers pouring liquid gold, the smoky perfume of barbecue wafting through the air, and—for those looking to release some inner Viking—actual ax throwing.
But the real “headliner” is the nostalgia. REO Survivor & Co. will be taking the stage, delivering a high-octane tribute to the titans of 80s rock: REO Speedwagon, Survivor, and Loverboy. It’s the only place where you can celebrate a successful bullseye at The Flying Hatchet while screaming “Working for the Weekend” at the top of your lungs.
For just a $10 admission (which includes a souvenir taster!), it’s the best deal in Rockingham County. Grab your lawn chair, your appetite, and maybe a cigar from the garden—it’s time to pig out and rock on!
Don’t miss the fun!
