MerleFest, considered one of the premier music festivals in the country, serves as an annual homecoming for musicians and music fans. Held on the campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, MerleFest was founded in 1988 in memory of the late Eddy Merle Watson, son of American music legend Doc Watson. MerleFest is a celebration of ‘traditional plus’ music, a unique mix of music based on the traditional, roots-oriented sounds of the Appalachian region, including bluegrass and old-time music, and expanded to include Americana, country, blues, rock and many other styles. The festival hosts numerous artists, performing on 13 stages during the course of the four-day event. The annual event has become the primary fundraiser for the WCC Foundation, funding scholarships, capital projects and other educational needs. We are about the MUSIC, MOMENTS and MEMORIES!

Night in the Country Music Festivals (NITC) and Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort (TIEC) have made the decision not to produce a 2023 Night in the Country Carolinas music festival at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. (no word on 2024) Rooted in the Carolina foothills, the Night in the Country experience transforms the world-renowned Tryon International Equestrian Center into your next great country tradition. Away from the big city lights, the Night in the Country experience transforms quiet country landscapes into some of the largest country music festival parties in the world. This isn’t the inaugural year of just another country music festival. This is year one of your next great country tradition! Night in the Country Carolinas will take you beyond the range of expectation for an unforgettable experience for you and your crew. The festival features one-of-a-kind events and attractions from the games at the Tournament of Champions to the tastes at Bands, Brews, and Que, to the twists of Maze Bar, the party at Club Beach, and beyond. And don’t forget the music – 3 days and 3 nights of Pure Country. It’s all set on the first-class, world-renowned grounds of Tryon Resort.
