Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson and the American Red Cross hosted the 1st Biker Bluegrass Fest Saturday.
The event kicked off Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and continues until 4 p.m. at Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson, 4710 South Kings Highway.
Several bluegrass bands entertained while non profit groups collected donations. The American Red Cross, The American Legion and The Shriners club was there.
The bands enjoyed helping the organizations, but also help each other out as well.
"One of their mandolin player didn't show up so another one just jumped right in,” said Denise Triece, marketing and event director for Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson. “They're helping one another. It's amazing you can go all over town every weekend and find them playing at different locations. And they come out today for the nonprofits to take care of us."
The event featured food and music and helped raise funds for local families in need.
