Location and Transportation

Festival Location

Happy Holiday RV Village

1553 Wolfetown Rd

Cherokee, North Carolina

Set in the scenic Smoky Mountains region of western North Carolina, the festival grounds are about an hour from Asheville and accessible via the Asheville Regional Airport—ideal for out-of-town travelers.

• Parking: On-site parking is available at the RV campground.
• Public Transit: Public transit options vary — check your local transit authority for routes near Cherokee.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are recommended. Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Arrive early to secure great lawn space and, if you’re camping, to get set up before the first notes hit. The festival takes place outdoors in early June—expect warm days, cool nights, and a chance of rain in the mountains. Download your tickets in advance, fully charge your phone, and pack a light jacket and rain gear.

Comfort is key at a campground festival. Bring lawn chairs or a blanket for GA seating, wear comfortable shoes for grassy and uneven terrain, and keep sunscreen and a reusable water bottle handy. Review the Cherokee Bluegrass Festival schedule before you go so you can catch every set you’ve been waiting for.

Venue Navigation

The RV campground layout makes it simple to navigate between the main stage area, vendor markets, and food concessions. Grassy pathways and open spaces connect hangout spots with the performance areas, so you can easily shift from close-up listening to relaxed lawn seating.

Look for festival signage and posted maps to locate amenities like food stalls, restrooms, and merchandise booths for both the festival and participating artists. Comfortable footwear is recommended, and setting a meeting point with your group can help if cell service dips in the mountains.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by venue and event — review your event listing and the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before attending.
• Prohibited Items: Prohibited items vary by venue — check your event listing for venue-specific policy details prior to arrival.
• Re-entry Policy: Re-entry policies may vary by venue and ticket type.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets ahead of time

• Bring a valid ID and payment method (some venues are now cashless)
• Double-check your entry gate and seat location
• Review venue-specific bag and security policies

Following these steps ensures a smooth, stress-free festival experience so you can focus on the music.

Pre-Event Planning

Reserve your RV or tent site in advance to stay close to the action all weekend. Build a simple packing list—lawn chairs or a picnic blanket, layers for cool evenings, sunscreen, and rain gear—so you’re set for changing mountain weather. If you’re traveling, plan your route from Asheville or the surrounding region and allow extra time for weekend traffic.

Coordinate with friends before you arrive. Pick a central meeting spot near the stage or vendor area, especially since cell service can be limited in the mountains. Reviewing the daily schedule together helps you catch your must-see sets and make the most of your festival passes.

Accessibility

Accessibility accommodations vary by event. Please review your event details and contact the festival directly — or reach out to Ticket Purchase support — in advance to confirm available accessibility options.

For assistance choosing accessible seating or passes, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

You’ll find a variety of on-site food vendors and concessions, perfect for quick bites between sets or a relaxed meal on the lawn. Pair your favorite bluegrass tunes with classic festival fare and refreshments while you browse the nearby vendor market and festival merchandise.
