The Uniquely Union Festival is proudly in its second decade of serving the community and opening our city to guests from near and far.
After many years as a BBQ cook-off contest, the Uniquely Union Festival Board felt it was time to expand its reach.
Over the years, the festival saw many changes. Some of those changes included a venue change, a rebranding (so that the face of our festival would reflect our intent), and another change was to expand and diversify.
It is our desire that all members of your family can come and find something that appeals to them.
Dad can come out and participate in the Taster’s Choice portion of the BBQ Cook-Off while Mom shops at the unique specialty shops that line our historic Main Street or one of the merchandise crafters that are on “Specialty Row”.
The kids will have plenty to do in their own areas designated especially for them in the Kidz Zone and Teen Zone.
Are you a music lover?
What kind of music do you like? You’re in luck!! The festival board is committed to serving up all genres. You can enjoy the headlining concerts that take place on the Main Stage, as well as an array of Rock, R&B, Country and Blues.
Are you a history buff or maybe an art connoisseur?
Well, we have just the thing for you. You can take advantage of our award-winning local museum that provides free guided tours or our fantastic local Union County Arts Council which displays and sells unique local artists’ wares.
It all sounds pretty great, doesn’t it? Are you wondering how much it will cost you?
Uniquely Union has set itself apart by making it a priority to keep this festival as free as possible. You will not pay an admission fee to attend Uniquely Union, and you will not pay to see any of the concerts that we bring to the stage.
If you are interested in participating in the Uniquely Union Festival as a sponsor, food vendor, crafter, or cook-off contestant see the area of the website dedicated to that topic for more information.
