FriendFest 2026
FriendFest isn't just a backyard bash, it's a celebration of friendship.
For one evening, let's put down the grudges, leave the drama at home, and remember what really matters: good people, good music, laughter, forgiveness, and the simple joy of being together.
We live in a world that seems determined to divide us. FriendFest is our chance to do the opposite. Come as strangers, leave as friends. Shake a hand. Give a hug. Meet someone new. Reconnect with someone you've lost touch with. Forgive somebody. Maybe even forgive yourself.
We'll gather under the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain stars to enjoy live music from 7 p.m. until midnight, followed by late-night jam sessions around the fire pit. Bring your chair, your cooler, your voice, your instruments, your favorite people, and your good vibes. Camping is available for those who want to stay the night under the stars.
We'll have food vendors, artisans, handmade goods, a raffle tent, restrooms, and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the evening.
This is a family-friendly event, open to everyone.
We only have one rule:
No as****es allowed.
That's it.
Be kind. Be welcoming. Be the reason someone leaves with a smile on their face.
Let's spend one evening celebrating the gift of friendship, the power of music, and the reminder that we have far more in common than we do apart.
Come as strangers. Leave as friends.
