The Fayetteville Roots Festival has grown again since we first talked about it. In fact, since the initial artist announcement came out in May, the lineup for the second-year festival has tripled.
More than 30 acts, spread out over two days and eight stages, will make up the event intended to “showcase Fayetteville in its natural state” this year. And that’s just the music part.
The full artist lineup for the 2011 festival is below, including information on which shows require a ticket, and which ones are free to attend.
There’s a whole lot of music down there. Get ready.
