Festival Hosts
Dear Carolina in the Fall Friends,
Welcome to the Carolina in the Fall website. We hope that you will find valuable information here to help you learn more about our wonderful festival. We are so excited that, together with our friends, The Kruger Brothers, we are able to create and produce such a wonderful festival gathering of musicians and fans. ![]() We have worked dilligently to prepare the festival site on the Shepherd Farm for the Carolina in the Fall attendees. Each year, based on responses from attendees, we try to continually improve the festival experience for all with changes in stage schedules, special activities and the physical layout of the festival grounds. The Carolina in the Fall festival organizers consist of Robert and Brenda Shepherd, Uwe and Jens Kruger, Joel Landsberg, Philip Zanon, and Monica Shepherd. Together -- the seven of us, coordinate plans, changes, and updates for each festival. Of course, the Carolina in the Fall festival would not be successful without family members, staff members, volunteers, sponsors, and YOU - the attendees! Thank you for your continued interest in the festival. Be sure to check out all aspects of our new website and don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or comments. We look forward to seeing you at the next Carolina in the Fall festival! Robert and Brenda Shepherd |


The Carolina in the Fall Festival has been recognized for the fourth consecutive year for excellence in the festival industry. The North Carolina Association of Festivals and Events recently held the annual conference and Showfest in Charlotte, North Carolina.
