Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina, turns Dorothea Dix Park into a two-day musical celebration every spring, which makes hip-hop dreams come true through musical and cultural expression.
The Dreamville lineup features Grammy winner J. Cole from Fayetteville alongside heavyweights Lil Wayne and SZA, 21 Savage, and Erykah Badu, together with the entire Dreamville Records family and artists from various musical genres.
The festival distinguishes itself from major events through its combination of local food vendors and artistic installations, and philanthropic activities, which include a Ferris wheel that gives visitors a view of downtown Raleigh.
The event draws tens of thousands of visitors from all 50 states and worldwide to establish itself as one of the largest and most highly anticipated annual events in the Southeast region.
The distinctive combination of superstar performers and community engagement and personal artistic direction from J. Cole positions Dreamville as one of America’s top 100 music festivals, which includes Rolling Loud, Essence Fest and Coachella.
