Why Rowan Events?

Imagine scrolling through your feed after the Autumn Jubilee's already packed up, kicking yourself for missing 60,000+ people jamming to live music and family fun at Dan Nicholas Park. Or hearing about the Granite Quarry Fiddler's Convention too late, when bluegrass bands and gospel choirs have just wrapped their biggest crowd in years. Sound familiar?
