Over the last several months, Ararat has welcomed visitors from Arizona, the USA, Ontario, Canada, and the Republic of Kenya, Africa, at the Appalachian Acoustic Open Jam on Friday Nights, an affiliated partner of The Crooked Road, Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail.
Several visitors took time to have their photos taken with the Virginia LOVEWORKS sign at the event, which is held every Friday Night at 144 The Hollow Road, Ararat. Doors open at 6 p.m. for food and drink, Appalachian Acoustic Music, and Dancing from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
On the last Tuesday of the month, doors open at 6:00 p.m. for food and drink, a Golden Oldies Open Jam is held. It featured 50s, 60s, and 70s rock and roll music, and dancing from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Both jams include a 50/50 drawing held around 8:15 p.m., with all proceeds benefiting the Willis Gap Community Center.
