Your Guide to Ohoopee Revival
Live music is coming back to the Ohoopee River. On Saturday, November 14, 2026, we're hosting the first annual Ohoopee Revival, a Southern rock music festival right here at Ohoopee River RV & Camp Resort in Lyons, Georgia.
If you've been around the river a while, you might remember Curly Fest. We hosted it here in 2018 and 2019, and y'all have asked us every year since when the next one was coming. This is our answer. We've put together a full lineup, a stage on the river and a day we think you'll be talking about for a long time.
Here's everything you need to know before you come.
The lineup
Three bands are playing the Grand Ole Hoopee stage on November 14.
Jon Lee and the Apparitions open the night. Jon Lee Murphy and his band come to us from Savannah with a Southern rock and rhythm and blues sound. Their newest album, Next Town, came out this spring.
Bonnie Blue takes the stage second. They're a Southern rock jam band from Jacksonville, Florida, and they know how to keep a crowd moving.
The Restless Natives close it out as our headliner. They're an authentic Allman Brothers band experience from Macon, Georgia, and there's no better way to end a night of Southern rock on the river.
Tickets
General admission is $20 in advance and $25 at the gate. Buying ahead saves you a few dollars, and it helps us plan for food, parking and staff.
Kids 12 and under get in free with a paid adult. Parking is free too.
You can buy tickets online at ohoopeeresort.com/revival or call us at 833-646-6733.
VIP
If you want the best seat in the house, VIP is $100 and includes:
Covered seating
A private restroom trailer by the stage
Food and non-alcoholic drinks
An Ohoopee Revival festival t-shirt
VIP tickets are limited, so if you've been thinking about it, don't wait too long.
Stay the night
Why drive home after the encore? Staying on the same property as the stage means you can sit by the campfire after the music and wake up on the river the next morning.
Here's where things stand for that weekend:
Tent sites: we still have some available. This is your best bet if you want to stay the night.
RV sites: we're currently full, but we have a waiting list and expect several RV sites to open up. Call us at 833-646-6733 to get on the waitlist.
Cabins and glamping: completely booked for Revival weekend.
One important note: your festival ticket is separate from your site reservation. If you're camping with us that weekend and plan to come to the show, you'll need a festival ticket too. You can book a tent site at ohoopeeresort.com or by calling 833-646-6733. Camping guests pick up their festival wristbands at check-in, so you won't have to stand in a second line.
What to bring
This is a laid-back, bring-your-own-chair kind of festival. Here's what we'd pack:
Your lawn chairs or a blanket
A cooler
Your crew (and their tickets)
Everyone in the concert area wears a wristband. If you're coming just for the day, you'll get yours at the gate when you arrive.
Giving back with Gardens of Hope
We wanted the first Ohoopee Revival to do some good for our community, so we've partnered with Gardens of Hope here in Lyons. They're a recovery community organization that offers free, peer-led support for people and families across Toombs County and beyond, including recovery meetings, peer support and job-readiness help. In 2024 alone they served more than 1,100 people.
A portion of the festival's proceeds will go to Gardens of Hope. We're also planning a charity cornhole tournament on Saturday morning to benefit them, so start practicing your toss. We'll share the details soon.
Thank you to Phillips Event Management
Ohoopee Revival wouldn't be happening without our production partner, Phillips Event Management. They're bringing the stage production and helping make the whole day come together. If you were here for Curly Fest, you've already seen what they can do on this river.
