We’re giving FREE TICKETS to children!
Next week, October 23-27 in Swainsboro, GA at the beautiful covered outdoor pavilion of the Georgia Sports Arena, the Lindblom family band is hosting the 3rd Annual Headin’ Home Fest!
This is a bluegrass music festival for the whole family, with fantastic music and jamming, top-of-the-line bands from all over the country, camping (RV hookups and tent sites available!), food, fellowship, and good wholesome family fun. There couldn’t be a better way to enjoy the crisp South Georgia fall weather than to celebrate with banjos, fiddles, and guitars! We want YOUR family to join us!
Bluegrass is a style of music that’s all American and all acoustic. It’s a great style to introduce young children to, as they’re naturally fascinated by live musicians. The Lindblom family’s bluegrass band, Headin’ Home, is hosting this festival. We’re so passionate about getting young children interested in music that we’re giving away FREE TICKETS TO CHILDREN UNDER TEN! Youth aged 10-15 are also half price! 🙌
Performing bands include The Brothers Five (the 5 younger boys in the Lindblom family!), The Little Roy & Lizzy Show from GA,
The Kody Norris Show from TN, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road from NC, Backline from SC, and many more! See the full lineup and schedule here.
Day tickets and weekend tickets are both available, so you can choose to camp and stay the whole time, or just drive up for a day. Head over to our festival website, headinhomefest.com, to reserve your family’s tickets! If you’d like a campsite, you can reserve one there as well!
