MORGANTOWN, W.Va (WDTV) – The first annual 2022 Morgantown Music Festival is set to take place at Ruby Amphitheater.
The festival will be from noon to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 28.

“The lineup is really eclectic and there’s absolutely something for everyone,” said Jared Miller, a member of the 90′s rock cover band Motorcycle Drive By. “We will be right on the cusp of summer come showtime and if you take that combined with all of the energy and talent of these bands, you’re bound to have a great time. Morgantown is like a melting pot of great music, and it always has been. Hopefully this festival gives a whole new platform for these artists to show their talents.”
