Carolina Indie Fest Returns!

Carolina Indie Fest, presented by Kyowa Kirin, returns for its spring edition May 23rd and 24th.

Dedicated festival fans already know the plan - 10 Indie bands taking over our outdoor stage in the heart of downtown Sanford to perform all original music over the course of 2 days.

Expect a variety of musical genres performed by bands from the Carolinas and much further afoot. Peep the band lineup for both days on the bands tab.

It's more than the music at our free-to-attend Carolina Indie Fest; Hugger Mugger Brewing Company's award-winning craft beer will be flowing, and 10 food trucks will be ready to serve a variety of meals.

If you're new to the fest, expect to spend time exploring the sprawling festival footprint that includes a beer garden, 7,000 square feet of indoor brewery space, and still more room for vendors. Festival-goers are always encouraged to bring their own outdoor chairs for the best seats in the house.

Indie Man will be dropping announcements soon about some exciting additions to this year's fest - including plans for interactive art demos, audience competitions, a curated oddity vendor area, and more.

Until the Indie Man cometh again, friends, keep it original . . . keep it real . . . keep it Indie.
