Bond Brothers Beer Company, 202 E Cedar St., in Cary, North Carolina, will host its third Annual Mid-Town Square Spring Fest on Saturday, March 24. The event includes local artists, vendors, a variety of food trucks, and, of course, lots of beer.

The downtown Cary Festival will feature live music, starting at noon from two stages throughout the day. Touring artists, Oak & Ash, will be headlining the festival at 5:30 p.m.

According to the website, hailing from New York City, Oak & Ash formed in late 2014 and set out to change the landscape of the Pop/ Rock scene with a variety of soulfully written and performed original records. Their explosive anthems, soaring guitar solos, soulful vocals, and recognizable pop song structure, has been compared to a mix between Kings of Leon, Maroon 5, and Coldplay. In August of 2016 they were named the winner of Newsday’s Battle of the Bands contest and in early 2017 they were named the winner of Bon Jovi’s “Opening Act Contest”. Just over three years after its formation, the group has booked renowned venues such as The Gramercy Theatre, Irving Plaza, The Paramount Theatre, Webster Hall, and most recently Madison Square Garden, opening for Bon Jovi.

The local music lineup follows:

Mid-Town Square Stage: Debonzo Brothers, Inner Prolific, Down By Five, Doco, Oak & Ash

Cedar Street Station Stage: Squiz, Nico Zarcone, Eyeball, Solar Bear, Merges

Local food truck favorites attending include The Humble Pig, Chirba Chirba, The 13th Taco, Bulkogi, Mr. Mongolian, The Wandering Moose, Qspresso, and FRESH! There will be several special cask releases.
