What is TTWD Fest?

TTWD is an all day music festival held at the Old Gilliam Mill Park outside of Sanford, NC on August 8, 2009. The park is a replica of a 19th century grist mill, and it is a great place to see music. Bands play in an amphitheatre style setting on a stage that looks like the front porch of an old shack. It has sort of an “Austin City Limits” feel. There are campsites with electricity, running water, bathrooms, and showers. There is also a full kitchen onsite, and food and beverages will be provided by Bella Bistro.

Who should come to TTWD?

People who appreciate the edgier things in life – all for $5!
TTWD provides an eclectic mix of musical acts that tend to come from the Indie, Punk, Metal, and Pop persuasion, but don’t be surprised if we throw in a martial arts display or an old school country act from time to time. If you like music that tends to be on the edgier side played by musicians who do it for the love of music, then TTWD is the festival for you. You can’t beat the price either. All day tickets only cost $5, but we encourage you to support any of the acts you like by contributing to the tip jar and buying their merch!

Eats and drinks like you have never had at a festival!
Have you ever been to a festival show that had great bands, but the tepid beer cost $10 a cup and the horrible hot dog set you back another $7? Leaves a bad taste in your mouth doesn’t it? At TTWD, the food and beer will be awesome and sold at a reasonable price. Ice cold, 16 ounce domestic beers will be $2 and 16 ounce premium beers will be sold for $3. This year’s menu promises to be something special with crawfish po’ boys and grilled pork loin with all the fixings for $10.

Camp out overnight!
TTWD is all about the fun & frolic, so we encourage you to be safe and camp out with us. The Old Gilliam Mill Park has plenty of campsites to accommodate all types of camping (campers, tents, beds of pickup trucks, etc.), and since many of the bands are coming from out of town, most of them will be camping out at the park. The party really didn’t begin at last year’s festival until the bands stopped playing. The Old Gilliam Mill Park is on private property so just about anything goes! We do ask that you be respectful of the park and its grounds, so we can do it all again next year!
