Murphy Music & Brews Postponed Until Late Spring 2027

Official Postponement Announcement

Due to the potential for heavy rainfall and high winds associated with the approaching hurricane, organizers have made the difficult decision to postpone the entire Murphy Music & Brews weekend.

The Official Pre-Party at Buck Bald Brewing in Copperhill, Tennessee, originally scheduled for Friday, October 9, 2026, and the main Murphy Music & Brews festival in Downtown Murphy, North Carolina, originally scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026, will not take place on those dates.

The safety of guests, performers, vendors, volunteers, production crews and everyone involved is the first priority. Both events are planned to return in late spring 2027; specific dates have not yet been confirmed.

Additional information, including details for existing ticket holders, will be announced as soon as it is available.
