American Music Festival Has NOT Been Canceled

The Melting Point has tweeted that its American Music Festival will go on Thursday rain or shine, and the outdoor portion of the concert will be moved inside.

MP representatives tell Flagpole:

We've moved the outdoor slots into our ballroom, and rented a big tent for our patio, so no matter what the show will be on... should be a great plan for families that had originally planned on grilling or going to Bishop. 

Fest is family friendly, kids 12 & under get in free, and we will be selling concession-style food perfect for the 4th. Plus there's a $15 UGA ticket. Two stages, headlined by Dr. Ralph Stanley (recently announced he would be hanging up the banjo after this next tour), Packway Handle & more.

Buy tickets here. No fireworks on the Fourth, but at least we get Ralph Stanley. That's patriotic enough for me. Thank you, Melting Point.
