your
three day
journey

DAY 1 | Friday

Friday is all about arrival and settling in. Gates open in the afternoon, with opening sets starting as the grounds come to life. Ease into the weekend with a welcome home BBQ, live music throughout the evening, and a laid-back first night together. As the sun goes down, the energy builds with full performances before late night hangs and shared moments.

DAY 2 | Saturday

Saturday is the heart of the weekend, packed with music, movement, and family fun. Kids activities, local makers, and afternoon sets lead into a full day of live performances across the grounds. As night falls, the main stage comes alive with headlining sets before campfire vibes carry the celebration late.

DAY 3 | Sunday

Sunday is a slow and gentle send-off, but the music is still going. The morning starts with pancakes, coffee, and relaxed conversations, followed by daytime sets and a final all-star jam to close things out. Friends say their goodbyes in the afternoon, leaving with full hearts, tired feet, and memories to carry home.

@thebrassmachine rolls into The Family Hoedown.

A full-powered party starter with big horns, deep grooves, and the kind of energy that can wake up a field and keep it moving long after sunset. Blending funk, soul, brass, and rhythm in all the right ways, they bring the kind of sound that turns a crowd into one big dance floor.

Sharp players, huge presence, and enough swing to shake the dust off your boots.

This is the type of set where standing still becomes a personal choice.

We’re excited to have them in the mix.

@personalblend returns to The Family Hoedown.

Hoedown alumni, hometown heroes, and truly family around here, Personal Blend has been part of the story for years. They know exactly how to turn a field full of people into one big moving, smiling, dancing situation.

Roots, rhythm, and the kind of energy that feels like seeing old friends again.

We’re proud to welcome family back home.

It kind of happens like this every year…
You show up not knowing exactly what the weekend will look like.

Then it unfolds. Slowly at first. Then all at once.
By the end of it, you’ve met new people, lost track of time, and somehow feel more like yourself.

What does your Hoedown weekend turn into?

@annieinthewater brings that bright, feel everything kind of energy that turns a set into a full on experience.

Blending rock, soul, and improvisation, they ride that line between tight songwriting and letting things stretch out just enough to keep it exciting. It is the kind of sound that pulls you in quick and keeps you there.

This is music that feels alive. Dynamic, expressive, and built for those moments where the whole crowd locks in together.

We are excited to have Annie in the Water join the family.

Tag your people and get ready for a set you will not want to miss.

Some traditions just stick… and the Silent Auction is one of them.

Every year, this becomes a space where creativity shows up in all forms. Handmade goods, art, experiences, little treasures with big stories. It is not just about bidding, it is about giving back and lifting something bigger than all of us.

All proceeds go toward supporting this year’s beneficiary, helping extend the impact of what we build together for one weekend into something that lasts far beyond it.

If you have something you would like to contribute, we would love to hear from you. Big or small, it all matters.

Reach out and be part of it.

@themallettbrothersband brings that honest, road worn, soul shaking sound that feels like it has been living inside you the whole time.

Blending rock, country, and roots with storytelling that actually hits, their music carries weight. It is real life, real feeling, and the kind of songs that stick with you long after the set ends.

This is music for long drives, late nights, and standing shoulder to shoulder with people who feel it the same way you do.

We are fired up to have The Mallett Brothers Band join the family.

Tag your crew and get ready for one of those sets you will be talking about all weekend.

Every year it happens.
Someone shows up not knowing anyone…

and leaves with a group they cannot wait to see again.

That is the part you cannot explain until you feel it.
Come find your people.

@rootshock brings a deep, groove forward sound rooted in soul, reggae, and rich roots influences, all tied together with powerful vocals and message driven songwriting.

Their sets feel alive. Rhythmic, warm, and easy to fall into, with just enough edge to keep you locked in. It is the kind of music that pulls a crowd together without forcing it, where movement just naturally happens.

There is depth here. Feeling, intention, and a sound that lingers long after the set ends.

We are excited to welcome Root Shock to the family.
Tag your people and come find your spot in the rhythm.
