Stovehouse celebrates 1,000 live music performances with StoveFest

Stovehouse has established itself as not only a cool place to shop and dine locally, but it has also become a premier spot to see live music. In fact, the venue is celebrating its 1,000th live performance with a mini-festival this weekend for the whole family.

And like their live music shows, this festival is free to attend.

More about StoveFest

The best part of Stovehouse’s live shows is that they, more often than not, feature local artists. That is also true with StoveFest, as all of the artists playing the event are local favorites.

Celebrating Stovehouse

Martin Stamping and Stove Factory on Governors Drive was built in the late 1920s and produced gas and electric heaters and air circulation equipment for more than 50 years.

Fast forward to 2017, when Danny and Patti Yancey began a renovation of the former factory, transforming it into a shopping, dining and entertainment destination.

The venue officially opened in 2019 and now houses nearly 40 businesses—including restaurants, shops, event spaces and offices.
