Moontime Markets: Three Widespread Panic Pre-Parties Planned

Get ready for an unforgettable experience as the Moontime Markets make their way to three iconic cities: Nashville, Charleston, and Asheville! These vibrant markets are more than just a place to shop but also a full-on celebration of music, art, and community, bringing together incredible vendors, live music, delicious food, and one-of-a-kind finds. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering Moontime Markets for the first time, you won’t want to miss these high-energy events leading up to Panic’s shows!

📍 Nashville: April 26th from 12-5pm at New Heights Brewing

📍 Charleston: May 17th from 12-6pm at New Realm Brewing

📍 Asheville: July 26th from 12-5pm at The Grey Eagle at Hatch Amphitheater

Each Moontime Market is a pre-show gathering designed to get you in the festival spirit before Widespread Panic takes the stage. Expect a curated selection of 30+ artisan vendors offering everything from handcrafted jewelry and lot tees to unique art pieces and specialty goods. It’s the perfect chance to shop small, discover local talent, and pick up exclusive items you won’t find anywhere else.

Of course, no Moontime Market is complete without live music! Each event will feature talented bands, setting the tone with a mix of jam, rock, and funk vibes. Pair that with an exclusive beer releases at select locations, food trucks serving up tasty eats, and even a cannabis bus in Nashville for those looking to explore alternative wellness options.

More than just a place to shop, Moontime Markets are a hub for music lovers, creatives, and the Widespread Panic community. Whether you’re grabbing cool finds, supporting small businesses or just soaking in the good vibes before the show, this is the ultimate way to elevate your concert experience.
