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.
