It was a beautiful day on Wilson Village Green at FLOW FEST 2023 on Saturday, May 20! Sol Driven Train kicked off the afternoon with an opening set before Grammy Award-winning Ranky Tanky took the stage. With the help of our attendees and artisan donations, we were thrilled to donate over $5,000 to Second Helpings helping to eliminate hunger and food waste in the Lowcountry. We appreciate all who attended, including the talented roster of 20+ southern artisans who brought their incredible work to the Bluff.
