National Balloon Rally Charities (NBRC) announces that the Carolina Roots Music Festival will be suspended until further notice. This does not affect the Carolina BalloonFest; the Carolina BalloonFest will be held October 19, 20, and 21 of 2018, at the Statesville Regional Airport.

With NBRC’s oldest festival, The Carolina BalloonFest, reaching its 45th year, the organization sees it as only appropriate that the festival have its own home and property. Due to this realization, the Carolina Roots Music Festival will be put on hold so that we can continue our search for property. Thank you for your understanding in this matter and for the dedication of all Carolina Roots Music Festival fans. We appreciate your patronage and hope to find new property so that we may host many bigger and better festivals in the future.
