Located in the heart of Alabama’s music history, ShoalsFest showcases Alabama’s strong musical talent. The festival celebrates the excellent musical legacy of the area. Even though some artists aren’t Alabama natives, they all have ties to the state.

The festival was founded by Alabama artist Jason Isbell in 2019 and included artists like Sheryl Crow and Mavis Staples.

ShoalsFest is hosted in McFarland Park in Florence. Gates open each day at 1PM.

McFarland Park will be packed to the brim with stars, many of whom owe part of their musical success to recording studios in Muscle Shoals. From Jason Isbell to Pine Hill Haints, it’s going to be a weekend of incredible, memorable music.

Both days of the music festival will feature Alabama native Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit as the headliners.
