A Festival with a Cause

The 30A Songwriters Festival is not just about music; it’s also about giving back to the community. Co-produced by Russell Carter Artist Management and the Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) of Walton County, this nationally acclaimed event has sold out every year since its inception in 2010. Best of all, 100% of the festival’s net proceeds support the CAA’s mission to advance the arts in Walton County.
