About this event
The Sonker Festival is a Surry County tradition, presented each year by the Surry County Historical Society. It is held on the first Saturday in October at the Edwards-Franklin House west of Mount Airy. Festival attendees sample sonker made from a variety of family recipes passed down through generations. Admission is free, with a nominal charge for sonker and beverages. The day’s festivities include bluegrass and Old-Time music, flat-foot dancing, and an exhibit by local quilters. Sonker flavors for 2025 are sweet potato, cherry, peach, strawberry, and blueberry. The cost for each serving is $5.00.
