Tickets are only $10 each day.

"Uncle Dave Macon Days is the largest music festival that we host annually and contributes 1.2 million dollars toward our tourism economic impact," said Barbara Wolke, senior vice president of the Rutherford County Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Uncle Dave Macon Days has received recognition from the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the top 20 events in the Southeast. We are excited to once again host this festival that showcases our hotels, restaurants and attractions to thousands of visitors every year."
