Country Calling is back at the inlet this weekend, drawing beachgoers and country fans for three days of live music, food and coastal views. The festival opened Friday with a full slate of performers and a steady flow of attendees moving between stages as vendors served crowds under sunny skies.
The Country Calling music festival had its first day on Friday, with town officials expecting roughly 55,000 people to visit the town for the weekend.
