RALEIGH, NC (March 29, 2024) – Global superstar J. Cole and Dreamville, the internationally recognized entertainment brand and multi-platinum record label for which he co-founded, have announced today a new slate of programming filled with admission-free community events leading up to Dreamville Festival 2024 as the music festival returns to Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7.

After first launching in 2018 as the Dreamville brand’s flagship annual event, their music festival has since grown into a weeklong celebration of music, culture, and community that spreads across downtown Raleigh. Driven by a desire to further invest in the festival’s host city of Raleigh, Dreamville has worked this year with community partners to develop a series of new events scheduled daily that begin April 3 that ultimately offer festival-goers greater opportunities to spend locally and explore the beauty of North Carolina beyond the festival weekend dates.

Curated by the Dreamville team, this year’s Dreamville Festival Week schedule is filled with one-of-a-kind experiences, many of which offer opportunities to interact firsthand with Dreamville artists, producers, executives, and collaborators. Fans should stay tuned as ticket sales and RSVP information for the Dreamville Festival Week events will be made available in the coming days.

“Raleigh has embraced Dreamville Festival from the start, which is why our team is so excited to continue expanding the festival’s local impact beyond just the weekend dates. Our team looks forward to building upon last year’s success as Dreamville offers even more free programming for the locals and fans who come to visit Raleigh from around the world this spring,” said Dreamville Cofounder and Festival President Adam Roy.
