Rhythm and Rails Bluegrass Night featuring the Travelin’ McCourys

Event Details

We are excited to announce that Rails & Rhythms Bluegrass Night is returning to Old Fort! This free public event will close out the Trails & Trains Festival, which highlights the area’s outdoors, history, and heritage. Community members and visitors alike are invited to support local businesses while enjoying regional music on Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM.
This special evening in downtown Old Fort invites you to join in celebrating musical heritage, strengthening community connections, and supporting local businesses. Live music, presented by Camp Grier and Grier Village, will feature performances by The Hayley King Trio, Zoe & Cloyd, Backline, and Grammy Award–winning Travelin’ McCoury’s.

This free event encourages attendees to bring their own chairs (no tents, umbrellas, or tented chairs, please). Organizers also encourage guests to enjoy dinner at one of Old Fort’s local restaurants to support businesses as the town continues to rebuild following Hurricane Helene.
