The 6th Annual Nelsonville Music Festival is set to take place May 14-16 in the beautiful hills of Southeastern Ohio, about three hours from downtown Cincinnati. The first festival took place in 2005, in the downtown Nelsonville Historic Arts District, and celebrates the coming together of the music and arts on both a local and national level. The festival is produced by Stuart’s Opera House, the cornerstone of the historic Public Square in Nelsonville. Working with Rural Action and the Hocking College Green Club, last year’s event saw over eight-thousand gallons of recycled wastes. This year’s festival includes headliners like Loretta Lynn, The Swell Season and Man Man.

Weekend passes are onsale now and available for just $45. Individual day passes will go onsale beginning April 1, and weekend passes will rise to $50 and then $55 in May. Tickets will be $60 at the gate.
