Carrboro Songwriters Festival brings together outstanding songwriters from across the Southeast and beyond for a weekend devoted to the thing that matters most: the song. The festival takes place from October 16 to 18, 2026.
Across three days and multiple Carrboro venues, you’ll hear Nashville-style songwriter rounds, intimate performances, unexpected collaborations, and a few provocative panels discussions exploring the world behind the music — how songs get written, how artists get heard, what makes a great performance, and where the industry is headed.
All the events are free to attend. Sets are each 45 minutes long and take place:
- Friday, October 16: 4 to 8 p.m.
- Saturday, October 17: 12 to 8 p.m.
- Sunday, October 18: 12 to 8 p.m.
Venues
- Lanza’s Cafe, 601 W Main St, Suite C, Carrboro, NC
- Steel String Brewery, 106A S Greensboro St, Carrboro, NC
