Reevestock Music Festival, slated for August 6 & 7th,2021, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. This grassroots festival has grown into a vibrant two-day celebration of music in both Downtown Elkin and Elkin’s Hidden Amphitheater. It’s not only a signature annual event for Elkin, but a much-anticipated gathering for guests from all over the Carolinas and beyond.
Its tag-line is “Keep Yadkin Valley’s Music Alive (and Kickin’)” and it does just that, starting with the Downtown Get-Down Block Party at 5:30pm. on Friday, August 6, in downtown Elkin. During this free outdoor kick-off party, featuring dynamic violinist/singer/songwriter Emanuel Wynter, the Reeves Theater will be open for drink purchases. Following the Block Party, a ticketed show at the Reeves Theater will feature Abigail Dowd, and Damon Atkins & Friends.
The main event, on Saturday, August 7, from 1:00pm. to 11:00pm., gives the public the rare opportunity to visit Elkin’s Hidden Amphitheater, a privately-owned entertainment venue nestled in the wooded, gentle North Carolina foothills. The main stage is an artfully designed gazebo surrounded with a running stream with connected waterfalls. The amphitheater glows in the light of illuminated trees at night.
Lineup of artists for Reevestock 2021 includes Aaron Lee Tasjan, John R. Miller, Time Sawyer, Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley, Terry Baucom’s Dukes of Drive, Alex Rose, Chris Frisina, T. Gold, Blue Cactus and more.
This relaxed, family-friendly festival features children’s activities during daylight hours, plenty of shade, and free nearby parking, with free shuttle service. Local vendors will offer food, beer and wine.
The festival benefits the Reevestock Scholarship Fund, which awards scholarships to seniors at Elkin High School, East Wilkes High School, and Starmount High School.

Elkin is at the confluence of three great trails…the NC Mountains to Sea Trail, the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, and the Yadkin River Paddle Trail. Our small town is also located between two State Parks…Stone Mountain and Pilot Mountain. Tying it all together is the Yadkin River, which flows through the heart of our downtown. In addition, in our area, you’ll find a Yadkin Valley/Surry Wine Trail, Elkin & Alleghany Rail Trail, Surry Scenic Bikeway, first-class mountain bike trails, a birding trail, and the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway. www.exploreelkin.com
