The story
Cornelia's Music Festival moved to the city's new park in 2025, when a show featuring Marty Stuart became the first event held there and was called a success by the city manager.
Planning for the 2026 festival began that summer: at its August 14, 2025 meeting, the Hospitality and Tourism Board's Linda Anderson put together a list of potential headliners for the 2026 event.
The board later decided to replace fireworks with a drone show for this year's festival, reaching an agreement with Open Sky Pro.
