MILL SPRING—The Earl Scruggs Music Festival hit its stride on Saturday, bringing a lively mix of talent and nationally recognized acts to the stage for the event’s second day.

This year’s festival, known for its rich blend of bluegrass, Americana, and old-time music, features two stages, workshops, a kids’ zone, a variety of food options, and a bustling marketplace of vendors.

The day kicked off on the Foggy Mountain Stage with Polk County’s own PacJam Ramblers. They were followed by performances from Creekside Collective, The Biscuit Eaters, The Well Drinkers, and rising star Wyatt Ellis.

Over on the Flint Hill Stage, the energy was high as Shadowgrass opened the day’s lineup. Twisted Pine, Chris Jones & The Night Drivers, AJ Lee & Blue Summit, and Lindsay Lou followed, each bringing their unique style to the festival.

A special session on the Foggy Mountain Stage saw The Earls of Leicester joined by special guests, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day. The stage also hosted The Faux Paws, while the Flint Hill Stage later drew huge crowds for headliners Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives and Old Crow Medicine Show.
