Brian and Buffy Evans drove 45 miles from Hartwell to hear Stuart and his band, The Fabulous Superlatives, play. Other artists to perform at the festival included Headed South, Katie Deal, Michele Little, and Holding Ghosts.

Anna Stanfield is among the many concertgoers who took to social media to share the event. She said, “Now this is the country up here. Great people watching!”

J.D. Shirkes said, “I’ve loved Marty Stuart my whole life, and I brought my family. My brother is back there, and so this is a great experience for them, too. It’s been great!”

Sherri and Alex Head of Braselton said they had a “great time” listening to Katie Deal with the Country River Band.

“Nothing like good music and small-town charm to make for a perfect day!” they added.

In addition to the concert, organizers set up a car show in the parking lot at Cornelia’s Historic Train Depot. The classic cars drew auto enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike.

A free fireworks display capped off the day’s events.
