Farm Aid began in 1985 after several artists recognized a need to celebrate America’s farmers, and the source of all our food. That first show in Champaign, Illinois included musical legends like Alabama, The Beach Boys, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and so many more.
The annual event came to Raleigh for Farm Aid 2014, and was held in Hartford, Connecticut in 2021.
“I’ve always said that family farmers strengthen us all,” said Farm Aid President and Founder Willie Nelson. “Farmers in North Carolina, across the Southeast, and all over the country are growing solutions to our toughest challenges, including climate change. We’re bringing Farm Aid here to highlight their hard work and celebrate the ways we can all join farmers to help.”
The concert festival is more than just music, as there are also displays and showcases about farming in North Carolina and more.
“Everywhere we go, we hear from festivalgoers that there’s nothing quite like the Farm Aid experience,” said Farm Aid Executive Director Carolyn Mugar. “Farmers and eaters are inspired and empowered at the intersection of music and family farm food to support the source of our food — family farmers — and to join farmers in fighting for our soil and water. We will celebrate the family farmers of the Southeast and amplify their voices on the Farm Aid stage in September.”
