Appaloosa Music Festival – discount ends today!
This Labor Day Weekend (Aug. 31-Sept 2), Appaloosa Music Festival (AMF) will take place at Skyline Ranch Resort. Appaloosa has quickly become a destination festival for roots music lovers with lineups featuring rising stars in Bluegrass, Americana, Celtic and Indie Folk. Heading into its fourth year, Appaloosa has turned the head of the Virginia Tourism commission, which chose Appaloosa Music Festival as a recipient of its coveted Virginia is for Music Lovers grant. AMF has used this grant to bring in a star-studded lineup including Merlefest headliners Mandolin Orange, Gaelic Storm (the Irish band in the blockbuster “The Titanic”), Celtic rockers – Scythian and Town Mountain. The lineup will also feature the Army Bluegrass band – Six String Soldiers (featured on Conan and Jay Leno) as well as a host of other amazing bands.
There will be a craft beer and Virginia wine garden, VIP options, a free kids zone with free face-painting, free musical workshops all weekend long and kids 12 & under go free.
The Early Bird 2 discount of 40% OFF ends today, May 15th, so be sure to reserve your spot and save for the area premier roots music festival! Get your tickets at www.appaloosafestival.com
