2026 Kennedy Creek Old-Time Music Festival
The Kennedy Creek Old-Time Music Festival takes place every autumn at the Kennedy Creek Resort in Suches, GA. Participants are invited to reserve cabins, yurts, or campsites, and food is available at the resort restaurant. Guest artists lead jams, teach workshops, and present concerts, but the main event is always jamming with friends. Admission is free thanks to the support of this year’s festival sponsors: the American Musicological Society, Miss Moonshine Dance, Fiddler Bourbon, and Fit Fiddles.
The 2026 Kennedy Creek Old-Time Music Festival will take place 10–13 September 2026. Admission is free, but attendees intending to stay overnight should reserve accommodations at the Kennedy Creek Resort.
