Old Friends Reunion Festival just dropped its full lineup for the fall, giving Northwest Arkansas a reason to mark calendars for late September. Serving up seven days of music at Old Friends Farms just outside Prairie Grove, the event brings together a mix of indie favorites and up-and-coming acts.
The festival, which started as a labor of love between local musicians Dana Louise and Noah Richmond, takes place September 24 through September 27. Dragging folks out of the city for the weekend offers a nice break from the usual Circuit of the Americas drive or the amphitheater cents at the Momentary.
The roster leans heavy on voices that you likely already love, with Gina Leslie and Mike Dillon & Earl Harvin headlining. You’ll also catch the rootsy storytelling of Handmade Moments, the experimental turns of Agalisiga Mackey, and the Americana grit of the Fullbloods. The indie crowd isn’t left out, either, with names like Chicken Milk, Raina Rose, Elam Blackman, and Pete Masri all taking the stage.
For those seeking something quieter, there are offerings like the Lo-Fi pop of Grace Rowland, the rock arrangements of The Creek Rocks, and the folk stylings of Leonie Evans. It’s a packed slate that proves local barns and farms can host some of the best nights in the state.
Keep an eye on the arts calendar if you’re looking to mix in a bit more culture this fall. With events ranging from the SoNA series closing out or the quick pop-ups at the Momentary, the scene is alive this season. And honestly, getting away from the Walmart parking lots and out to a fresh patch of country pasture is just good food for the soul.
