We are just over two weeks from rockin’ out for a cause at SummerLark 2025.

Tickets are still available for this one-night-only concert in Bailey Park. All proceeds support Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s Cancer Patient Support Program.

ICYMI, here’s what to expect at this year’s festival:

  • An opening act by Big Daddy Love, an “Appalachian Rock” quartet founded by Sparta and Winston-Salem natives.
  • Grammy-winning headliners Old Crow Medicine Show
  • Food trucks, a free photo booth + family-friendly fun
