GA!: Donna, what is the Mt. Holly Art & Music Festival?
Donna: The Mount Holly Art & Music Festival (previously known as Autumn on Main) is in its 6th year. We do have a new name, new longer hours and more to offer this year. Thanks to a grant from the Mount Holly Tourism Development Authority, we are able to host a larger regional event on Main Street in Mount Holly.
