The story

Moonshiners Reunion and Mountain Music Festival in Campobello

On a hillside at Plum Hollow Farm, families spread quilts and lawn chairs each October to hear string music, singing, and stories that keep Appalachian moonshiner lore alive. Camping in tents and RVs turns the gathering into a full weekend rather than a single afternoon, with late-night picking carrying on well after the main stage goes quiet. The Dark Corner's rough-edged history stays close to the surface throughout.

A covered bandstand looks out over a gentle slope, and people drift in with blankets, lawn chairs, and the easy patience of folks who know the music will carry.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What makes this festival distinctive is the way music and folklore share the same stage: songs and storytelling keep the Dark Corner's moonshiner tales alive in the middle of the picking rather than off to the side as background

02

The mystery stays covered

A covered bandstand faces a gentle hillside, so people settle onto quilts and lawn chairs instead of pressing toward barricades, and the pace stays closer to a family reunion than a festival crowd

03

The city starts moving

Camping in tents and RVs turns the grounds into a lived-in mountain camp for the whole weekend, with late-night picking continuing long after the scheduled sets end

04

The water draws everyone in

Southern heritage crafts and community gathering round out days built around fiddle tunes, harmonies, and fall light over Plum Hollow Farm
