Nelsonville Music Festival (NMF) will return to the Snow Fork Event Center on June 18-20, 2026. Next year’s date celebrates the 20th anniversary of NMF.  

The three-day festival is set to end on Saturday night instead of the festival’s expected closure on Sunday. In a press release, NMF said the date change was made to accommodate concertgoers’ feedback “about wanting to get home on Sunday. Early arrival passes will be available for campers who wish to settle in on Wednesday evening, and camping will remain open through Saturday night.”

Since their debut dates in 2005, NMF cemented itself as Southeast Ohio’s go-to hotspot for performing musicians. Last year, the festival featured acts like Charley Crockett, Waxahatchee, Taj Mahal, MJ Lenderman and Bonnie “Prince” Billy among 50 others. 

Ticket info and artist lineups are still to be released. To stay up to date with the latest NMF updates and information, join the festival’s mailing list.
