Big Po didn’t come to play nice with the industry. He came to build his own empire. The PoFolks brand started as a movement, turned into a message, and now it’s officially a full-blown festival with two days of live music, vendors, games, and straight-up Southern chaos and this is the 4th Annual Pofolks Festival!
Forget red carpets and VIP lounges. This is for the people in muddy boots, lifted trucks, and Bluetooth speakers blasting outlaw anthems. This is country rap culture at its rawest.
Held in Farmerville, Louisiana on August 29 and 30, the PoFolks Festival is everything the mainstream pretends to be. Real music. Real people. Zero filter.

This is the 4th Annual PoFolks Festival and it might be the most important one yet.
Where It’s Goin Down
125 Old Highway 15,
Farmerville, LA 71241
Hosted by Crazy Cajun B
Music powered by DJ Worm on the 1s and 2s
There’ll be live performances, raffles, cornhole tournaments, food trucks, Southern vendors, and a whole crowd of like-minded, mud-loving music fans. It’s more than a show.
How It All Started: From Po’s Pasture to a Movement
The first PoFolks Festival wasn’t even called a festival. It was just music, mud, and a bunch of real ones showing up in tents to a Louisiana pasture.
Big Po’s own backyard was the stage. Crawfish and fried fish fed the crowd. A DIY sound system filled the night. People came from all over the country just to be a part of it. No sponsors. No permits. Just faith and fire.
The next two years, the festival leveled up and moved to Bayles Run on the Ouachita River. That river stage added more space, more fans, and more momentum — but it wasn’t without struggle.
In year three, heavy rain forced the team to move everything an hour north to K & M Coffee, Corks and Camo in Farmerville. Indoors. Last minute. The event lost money. Morale dipped. And Big Po wasn’t even sure if there’d be a year four.
But then came Rhett.
Just a month ago, Rhett from Rhett’s Tails and Shells offered his venue to keep the PoFolks flame burning. Labor Day Weekend was open. The community rallied. Sponsors stepped up. Artists committed. And now, the 4th Annual PoFolks Festival is locked in and ready to make history.

Big Po
The main event. The man behind it all. Big Po closes Saturday night with a full set of anthems like "Bayou Baby”. His performance is more than music. It’s testimony. He built this from scratch and now he’s giving it back to the people that helped him get here.
Why Big Po’s Still That Guy
While the rest of the genre waits for industry validation, Big Po keeps grinding, keeps dropping real music, and keeps pulling fans who actually relate to what he raps about.
His recent drop “Ridin in my Truck” ft. 501Bryze is making rounds on playlists, and word is he’s working on something even bigger. Whether it’s mud-stained boots or clean guitar chords, Po brings both with pride.
He’s never been afraid to speak on God, family, hard times, and standing ten toes down. That’s why fans stick with him he gives them the truth without dressing it up.
PoFolks Festival is about more than music. It’s a blueprint. Big Po is showing the next wave of country rap artists how to take control of their careers. Throw your own shows. Build your own brands. Speak for your people.
He’s putting artists on stage who don’t have big money behind them but have big voices and bigger hearts. He’s doing it the way it was always supposed to be done....For the people.
