An East Coast Music Festival Tour

With the warm weather around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get outside and have yourself a weekend. Take an East Coast tour and explore the different music festivals to create the perfect trip!

Ultra Music Festival

Starting off hot, let’s hear about the heat that Ultra brings (literally!) to the electronic/dance music world. Some of the biggest artists in electronic music will be performing at the festival in Downtown Miami this spring, which takes place from March 28-30. It is one of the year’s most anticipated festivals not only because of its national appeal, but international too, drawing in artists from across the globe like Sweden and the Netherlands. Dom Dolla, John Summit Tiësto, Martin Garrix and Timmy Trumpet are some of this year's many popular main acts. People also consider Ultra to be the “start of festival season” so make sure to get your tickets and get ready for a party packed spring.

Dreamville Fest

Looking to stay a little more local? Dreamville Festival is right down the road in Raleigh from April 5-6. The festival hosted by internationally-acclaimed artist J. Cole brings together music fans across the country for some of the top hip-hop and R&B performances. Dreamville is a proudly Black-owned music festival whose main goal is emphasizing community, diversity and inclusivity by blending famous performers with up-and-coming artists. J. Cole frequently invites some of his favorite performers to participate, making Dreamville a unique, family-friendly and local experience.

High Water Music Festival

Head a little south for a weekend in Charleston at the High Water music festival. It takes place April 26-27 set on the beautiful Riverfront Park of North Charleston. There are two rotating stages so you can enjoy artists you love and artists you have yet to discover.

Don’t forget to try the food and drinks from local’s favorite breweries and restaurants!

Lovin’ Life Music Festival
