Lovin’ Life Music Fest has quickly gained national recognition. Named one of USA Today’s “Top 10 New Festivals in the U.S.,” it continues to make waves in the music industry and beyond. Locally, Charlotte Magazine honored the festival as one of the “2024 Charlotteans of the Year,” applauding its contributions to the city’s arts and culture scene.

“This festival isn’t just about music—it’s about community, creativity, and making a lasting impact,” said Bob Durkin of Southern Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to bring an even bigger lineup while maintaining the special local experiences that made last year’s event such a success.”

Beyond the music, Lovin’ Life Music Fest is an immersive experience, featuring interactive art installations, live murals, and unique vendor experiences. The festival also emphasizes philanthropy, having raised thousands for local charities in 2024. In 2025, it will continue its efforts by partnering with organizations that support the Charlotte community.

“Charlotte is thriving, and Lovin’ Life Music Fest is a perfect reflection of the city’s energy,” said Charlotte City Councilman Tariq Bokhari. “Bringing world-class artists here not only boosts our economy but also provides a vital platform for local musicians to shine.”
