Hometown Hall of Fame Concert
August 1, 2026 • 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Location: Word Park, Downtown Beckley
Kick off the Appalachian Festival with the Hometown Hall of Fame Concert at Word Park on August 1 at PM.
This concert honors Beckley’s very own talent, including Bill Withers, Calvin Simon, Little Jimmy Dickens, Everett Lilly and Hazel Dickens. All hail from Southern West Virginia, and we are certainly proud of their careers and the legacy they left to our part of the state. Celebrate these legends with live music by The Holler Generals with Matt Mullins, food, and more. The city will also be unveiling banners to commemorate these artists with interpretive signage.
