Day two had a stacked lineup, with an artist many didn’t expect to be at a country/folk festival. Rapper ‘Ludacris’ made an appearance for an hour set, and it was without a doubt the most electrifying performance of the weekend. Ludacris played all of his classics, bringing so much nostalgia back for many festival goers. On top of Ludacris, Sunday featured artists such as Sierra Ferrell, Treaty Oak Revival, Koe Wetzel and more. It was truly an amazing experience to hear so many big artists come together and create beautiful music for all.

Fans seemed to have so much fun enjoying the live music, but there was so much more than that. The food vendors were amazing, cooking all kinds of meals for hungry festival goers, and there were many activities throughout the festival. Fairwell didn’t have the iconic ferris wheel this year, which was missed by many who had grown so fond of seeing it in the festival grounds. However, the festival delivered with lots of entertainment options. There was a saloon, and a pond to cool off by. There were many spots to take pictures and enjoy time with friends and family. All around, Fairwell Festival made up for the loss of the ferris wheel for sure.
