MerleFest 2026 is coming up in April for four amazing days of music! This year catch Alison Krauss & Union Station, Old Crow Medicine Show, Blackberry Smoke, Charles Wesley Godwin and so many more!
MerleFest was founded in 1988 in memory of Eddy Merle Watson as a fundraiser for Wilkes Community College and to celebrate ‘traditional plus’ music. We are about the MUSIC, MOMENTS and MEMORIES!
Make your plans now and we'll see you there! For your chance to win a pair of any one-day general admission tickets, register below, courtesy of MerleFest!
