About the Festival
Reevestock Music Festival, which takes place on Friday, August 5th, and Saturday, August 6th, 2022, is a small, family-friendly music festival in a beautiful setting just a little over an hour from Charlotte.
This is possibly the most comfortable, relaxed music festival in North Carolina. According to Glide Magazine, “Everything you kind of hate about festivals doesn’t happen here. Reevestock is the way festivals would be in an alternate, better universe.”
Elkin is just a little more than an hour north of Charlotte, straight up I-77.
If you come up for the weekend and have some time before the festival starts on Saturday, or Sunday morning, make sure to check out some of Elkin’s amazing hiking trails, including this hike from an Elkin winery to a waterfall. (You can shorten the hike and just go to the waterfall.)
The festival is the brainchild of the Charlotte-based folk/rock band Time Sawyer. It’s a fundraiser to provide college scholarships to students in Elkin, NC, the hometown of two Time Sawyer band members.
The festival features nine bands and artists (three on Friday night and six at the main event on Saturday), food trucks, wine, craft beer and more.
Note: There’s limited space on Friday, so make sure to get those tickets ASAP.
