TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Get ready for a music-packed Saturday, May 27, as Woodstock returns to host it’s sixth annual Woodstock Music Festival at the renowned Holiday Raceway.

The event brings in a variety of artists from headliner country singer Craig Morgan to Tab and the Mojo, Taylor Bagi and The Dead Poet Spencer Wilson, who is coming from the United Kingdom to perform at Woodstock.

“It’s going to be a great show, a wonderful event with great performers,” said Woodstock Mayor Jeff Dodson. “It’s just a great lineup from start to end.”

But good music isn’t Woodstock Music Festival’s only goal. It’s also a chance to raise money for positive community changes. This year, the festival is raising funds to support the restoration and preservation of the local Ray-Strickland Cemetery and support the Little League Ballpark program.

“Proceeds from the event go toward restoring a cemetery. We’re going to help the ballpark restore the cemetery,” said Dodson. “Getting the community together for a great cause is always a great thing.”

Admission to the event is $20 per vehicle. Gates open at 3 p.m. and the show starts at 5 p.m. The Holiday Raceway is located at 20105 U.S. Highway 11 in Woodstock.
