117th Canton Labor Day Festival

CRAIG MORGAN TO HEADLINE THE 117TH CANTON LABOR DAY FESTIVAL:

Country music hitmaker and Army Reserve soldier, Craig Morgan will be headlining the 117th Canton Labor Day Festival, presented by Champion Credit Union on August 31, 2025. The complete festival lineup will be released at a later date.

Singer, author, actor, and soldier Craig Morgan has made a name for himself as a country music hitmaker who has amassed nearly 2.5 billion career streams and charter over 25 songs on Billboard. With signature hits including “Redneck Yacht Club,” “Almost Home,” “International Harvester,” “Soldier,” “That’s What I Love About Sunday,” and his faith-filled tribute, “The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost,” the multi-faceted entertainer’s music has formed the soundtrack to our lives for over two decades. His new music, American Soundtrack (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville), is no exception, with each of the EP’s six songs infused with Craig’s faith and patriotism. The record released the same weekend Morgan set out on Blake Shelton’s “Friends & Heroes” Tour, with twelve shows in February and March.

Craig received one of country music’s highest honors when he was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008. Prior to becoming a country music star and TV sensation, Craig spent seventeen years serving our country in the Army and Army Reserve and in 2023 enlisted again in the Army Reserve, continuing his military career as a Warrant Officer. He remains an avid supporter of America’s military personnel and has made more than sixteen overseas trips to perform for our troops. Craig is a member of the U.S. Field Artillery Hall of Fame and recipient of the USO Merit Award. In 2018, he was awarded the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, one of the highest awards the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian, in recognition of his significant dedication to our military men and women around the world. He remains committed to supporting active duty and veteran members of our military through work with Operation Finally Home, the USO and more.

His emotional and inspiring memoir – God, Family, Country – is available now. In the book, Craig details all aspects from his inspiring life, revealing never-before-heard stories including the impetus behind his recent enlistment in the Army Reserve, how he worked alongside the CIA as a soldier in Panama, fought sex traffickers as an undercover agent in Thailand, forged his own path to country music stardom, and lives his life by the deepest values: God, family, country.

As the largest festival in Haywood County, the scope and reach of this event is felt throughout the region. With an estimated 20,000-person turnout last year, “This is an opportunity for the Town of Canton and our sponsors to come together and host not only an incredible event for the citizens of Canton and Haywood County but also expose the vast beauty and opportunities Canton has to offer. Having the continued ability to incorporate such stellar musical legends and up-and-coming artists in the lineup is an exciting opportunity that I feel adds huge value to what we are doing here in Canton. Offering quality events like the Labor Day Festival not only allows us to showcase Canton but provides a fun, family-friendly event that is affordable for all,” says Canton Town Manager, Lisa Stinnett. “This event is only possible because of the continued support we receive from our sponsors, Town officials, and the community.”

The live music will take place on Sunday, August 31st and Monday, September 1st in downtown Canton starting at 1:00 pm on Sunday and 11:00 am on Monday.
