Backwoods cancels

On April 29, organizers of Backwoods at Mulberry Mountain announced via social media that the 2024 festival was canceled. The announcement came just six days after posts promoting the festival’s performers and camping spots were shared on Instagram.

“It’s with deep sorrow that we must announce today the cancellation of Backwoods 2024. Rising production costs, labor, and overall business expenses, coupled with a change in consumer buying patterns and economic conditions post covid have rendered production of the 2024 event impossible at this point to sustain,” read a social media post by the organization.

According to the post, refunds were in process, and ticketholders were directed to email info@backwoodsmusicfestival.com for more details. The post did not mention how those who bought lifetime tickets to the festival would be affected by the cancellation.
