Roots N' Resin (RnR) is more than a music festival—it's a celebration of Appalachian culture, creativity, resilience, and community. Founded in Eastern Kentucky, Roots n' Resin was created with a simple but ambitious mission: to bring people together through music, arts, education, and meaningful conversation while showcasing the incredible talent, heritage, and spirit of Appalachia.

          Across two unforgettable days, attendees will experience nationally recognized musical artists alongside regional favorites, explore artisan and agricultural pavilions, connect with community organizations, participate in educational workshops, discover local food and craft vendors, and enjoy an immersive festival environment designed for all ages.

          What truly sets Roots n' Resin apart is its commitment to community and patient advocacy. Beyond entertainment, the festival serves as a platform for education, wellness, and open dialogue—creating opportunities for organizations, healthcare professionals, veterans, artists, educators, entrepreneurs, and advocates to engage directly with the public in a welcoming and inclusive setting.

          Whether you're camping under the stars, discovering handcrafted Appalachian artwork, learning a new skill, enjoying live performances on one of our multiple stages, or simply relaxing with family and friends, every part of Roots n' Resin has been thoughtfully designed to create lasting memories while strengthening the communities we call home.

Roots n'Resin is proudly presented by East Kentucky Organic and is built on the belief that festivals can do more than entertain—they can educate, inspire, support local economies, celebrate regional identity, and leave a lasting positive impact long after the final encore.
