About the festival
Set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains at our Mills River brewery, The Hazy Hideaway is a two-day escape where music, beer, and art meet.
Spend the day moving between sets of live music, fresh pours of Hazy, and local food and art woven throughout the grounds.
A festival made for you to get lost and Embrace the Haze.
THE HAZE IS CALLING
live music
Along with world-class headliners and rising talent on the amphitheater stage, local musicians we know and love will be playing all day long inside The High Gravity Room, giving you a chance to see some of your favorite artists in a way you’ve never seen (or heard!) before.

local art
We’ve partnered with artists from Asheville and beyond to bring their talent and vision to the brewery during The Hazy Hideaway. From the moment you arrive, you’ll experience art coming to life through murals, handcrafted works, live performances, and immersive installations throughout the space. You might even find yourself becoming part of the art along the way.

food + drink
It wouldn’t be a trip to the Mills River taproom without the food and drink you know and love us for. To celebrate, we’ll have limited release brews on tap alongside a special menu featuring locally inspired comfort food to pair perfectly with a day of live music, local art, and good people.
