In case you missed it, The Burl announced it will be hosting its inaugural Burl County Fair Friday, Sept. 8-Sunday, Sept. 10. Think: Music festival + the nostalgic fun of a small town fair.

Here’s what you can expect to experience:

  • Various vendors
  • Carnival games
  • A tarot reader
  • A petting zoo
  • Dunking booths
  • Giant slides + more.

Yesterday, they released the lineup featuring nationally-recognized musical acts across genres like Bluegrass, Rock, Country, Americana, Indie, and Soul.

There are individual day tickets available starting at ~$54 or a three-day pass option which starts at ~$144. The event is standing room only, but with a VIP package, you get a table with seating by The Burl Food, and a special sticker + koozie pack.

Sign up to receive the code for pre-sale tickets, which are available today at 10 a.m. General tickets go on sale this Friday, May 12 at 10 a.m.
