In just four years, the Dailey & Vincent LandFest music festival outgrew its original location in Denton, N.C., and the folks at Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds were all too happy to step in and offer their facilities.

LandFest opens today at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds, 1311 Music Hall Road, in Hiawassee, Ga., and continues through Saturday, Sept. 16.

Darrin Vincent said he and partner Jamie Dailey are thrilled to not only have a larger place, but one that is entirely indoors in a location that offers fans a little more to do besides music.

“Hiawassee is a bigger building, so it’s all inside with air and heating,” Vincent said. “It’s a better facility for the fans, and it is closer to more activities including more food options, hiking, rafting.
