16th Annual North Carolina 'Cuegrass Festival & Afterparty

April 18, 2026 12:00 PM

Hang out with us on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from noon to 6 p.m. for The Pit’s 16th Annual North Carolina ‘Cuegrass Festival, followed by an afterparty at The Raleigh Times from 6–10 p.m.!

‘Cuegrass is all about two North Carolina staples—barbecue and bluegrass. We're shutting down Fayetteville Street once again for a day of live music, incredible ‘cue, and local beer. Plus, soak in even more festival fun with a vendor market and a kid zone packed with games they’ll love!

Mark your calendars—great food, live music, and a good cause all come together on April 18. Follow @cuegrass on Instagram for band lineup announcements and event updates.
