We are just 2 days away from the premiere at @apptheatre :D
Hear from long time Boone musician and luthier Ben McPherron who sat down with us to talk about the things that make Boone so special.
Ben performed with the band WiseApple who created the namesake song “Boonerang,” and now plays with the band @loose_roosters_band
The community is what brought him back, and kept him in the high country ❤️
Come hear more from Ben and other local creatives this weekend at the premiere!

Outdoor recreation and live music are huge in Boone, but when it comes down to it, it’s all about the community ❤️
Arron McCall has been a big help to the Boonerang Music & Arts Festival by volunteering each year and is proud to be a part of this thriving community.
Hear from Arron about the small town vibes that have kept “boonerang-ers” coming back for years.

Join us two weeks from tonight on February 21 at the @apptheatre for the premiere of Boonerang: Returning to the High Country.
Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. / Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
FREE - GENERAL ADMISSION
The film explores the origins of the term "Boonerang," the music & arts festival itself, why people are drawn back to the area, the regional impacts of Hurricane Helene, and the importance of the 2025 festival being the first one since the community faced the tragedy of a natural disaster.
Through the lens of local leaders, musicians, artists, and festival organizers we learn what makes this creative community so tight knit, and why people return to the high country after experiencing it first hand.
