The State Fair of West Virginia has officially announced the return of Wild Trails Festival, happening June 18–20, 2026, at the State Fairgrounds in Lewisburg. And this year’s lineup? Absolutely stacked.
Headlining the 2026 festival are Koe Wetzel, Tucker Wetmore, Ian Munsick, and Shane Smith & The Saints, alongside an impressive mix of rising stars and fan favorites including Kolby Cooper, Kaitlin Butts, Larry Fleet, Bayker Blankenship, Evan Honer, The Creekers, The Jack Wharff Band, and more.
Now entering its second year, Wild Trails Festival combines three days of live music, camping, and outdoor adventure in the heart of “Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.” Held during West Virginia Day weekend, the event brings together top country and Americana artists, regional talent, and an immersive festival experience designed for fans who want to stay, explore, and soak in the entire weekend.
