Focused on music, art, and local culture since 2022, this eclectic downtown street festival serves as a homecoming for more than 40 Boone-connected artists and bands. Free performances take place across seven performance stages, with craft breweries and food vendors on-site to fuel concertgoers. At various points throughout the weekend, the fest also hosts a Battle of the Bands, Boone’s Got Talent, silent discos, a vintage market, a mountain hippie lounge, and a kids’ zone. Also be on the lookout for after-parties at Fizz Ed, Boone Saloon, Lily’s Snack Bar, and others.
