About Born and Raised Festival
## Overview of Born and Raised Festival Born and Raised Festival is a premier country, Red Dirt, and Americana music event held annually in Pryor, Oklahoma, on the Rockin’ Red Dirt Ranch—a venue also famous for hosting the Rocklahoma festival[5][7]. The festival was founded to celebrate Outlaw, Texas, and Red Dirt country music, genres experiencing a contemporary resurgence, with a vision to provide a major platform for both established and emerging artists in these styles[4][8]. The event is distinguished by its immersive camping experience, multiple music stages, and a full slate of Southern cultural activities beyond just live performances. ## History and Development Launched with significant ambition, the inaugural Born and Raised Festival in 2022 immediately made waves by securing headliners like Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr., alongside a deep undercard of respected acts in independent and traditional country music[8]. The festival quickly established itself as a must-attend event for fans of these genres, drawing attention for both its impressive lineups and its scenic Oklahoma setting, just north of Tulsa[5][6]. Backed by major promotional power—initially AEG and, as of 2024, Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP)—the festival has leveraged professional production values and expansive facilities to mitigate the growing pains typical of new events[6][7]. ## Key Achievements - **Rapid Growth**: In just a few years, Born and Raised has grown into one of the leading festivals in its genre, with attendance and artist caliber rivaling more established events[5][6]. - **Artist Endorsement**: Headliners and performers, such as Cody Jinks, have publicly praised the festival’s organization and atmosphere, calling it among the best they’ve experienced[6]. - **Facilities and Experience**: The festival offers extensive camping (for over 20,000 people), RV provisions, private restroom rentals
