What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Being founded and remaining closely associated with a working touring band, The Steel Wheels, gives the festival a musician's perspective on programming rather than a purely commercial promoter's approach, and the band has used its own festival to consistently book acts across the folk, Americana, and country spectrum, including nationally known names like Old Crow Medicine Show, Lucinda Williams, and Steve Earle

02

The mystery stays covered

The venue, Natural Chimneys Park, is built around a dramatic limestone rock formation resembling ancient chimney spires, giving the festival a distinctive natural backdrop unlike a standard fairground

03

The city starts moving

Beyond music, the festival layers in a broad slate of wellness and recreation programming, organized bike rides, yoga, running events, swimming, and hiking, positioning itself as an active outdoor weekend
