Carolina Stampede Music Fest
September 26, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
SAVE THE DATE! The committee has aimed to curate
the Carolina Stampede Music Fest to truly embody our mission: celebrating community, local culture, and music diversity. This festival is more than just a lineup — it’s a movement to uplift local artists, honor our North Carolina heritage, and bring us together through the power of music. From the bluegrass roots in the mountains to the beach music of the coast, North Carolina’s rich musical traditions tell the story of who we are. Our small towns are built on neighborly spirit, good food, and a love for gathering together — and that’s precisely what Stampede is all about. We are community-strong, and music is what unites us. We can’t wait to share this experience with you! Interested in getting involved? Stay tuned for ways to help! Whether it’s volunteering, supporting local vendors, or simply spreading the word, every bit of community involvement makes a difference. The headlining artists for 2025 are listed below. More artists to be announced soon! Please follow
the Carolina Stampede Music Festival Facebook page for more updates and festival info!
