⭐ Tips For The South Star Music Festival
The wait is over. The South Star Music Festival is this Saturday and Sunday at John Hunt Park. If you plan to attend, here are a few tips to make the most of the festival.
Paid parking is available at Joe Davis Stadium, but there is also free parking at Milton Frank.
No backpacks, purses, or bags are allowed. However, you can bring small clutch purses, fanny packs, clear bags (under 12" x 6" x 12), empty hydration packs, and baby strollers.
You can enter, leave, and re-enter the festival as many times as you’d like before 8 PM.
A map of the festival grounds can be found here.
A performance schedule can be found here.

Also, in case you missed the news, Jane’s Addiction dropped out of the festival last week. But don’t worry, they’ll be replaced by 90s rock legend Tom Morello!
