Summary

Honoring Cabbagetown's past as a little bit of country in the big city, Chomp & Stomp features old-time music. Cabbagetown today still draws in folks looking for a home, rather than just a house - where being a neighbor means more than sharing a fence. Music & food have always helped to define the neighborhood's spirit. For the past 8 years, this town comes together for a family picnic and invites their friends. About 15,000 of them show up each year. They are looking for local, regional and touring artists for the festival held on November 5, 2011. Artists will be compensated./n/nHonoring Cabbagetown's past as a little bit of country in the big city, Chomp & Stomp features old-time music.

This festival features music that was popular when residents & mill workers like Fiddlin' John Carson lived there. They worked long hours in the shadow of the smoke stacks, then played traditional music late into the night on tiny front porches. Many workers came from the foothills of the Appalachians, while others brought their families from other mill villages & manufacturing plants from across the region.
