INEZ — Martin County Harvest Fest is generating buzz with a teaser that a contestant from “The Voice” will headline Sept. 19 in downtown Inez.

Promotional materials released by the Kiwanis Club stop short of naming the artist, instead promising a full headliner reveal is coming soon as part of the festival’s entertainment lineup.

“It’s going to be a big deal for us,” Kiwanis Club President Melissa Phelps said.

The teaser has already sparked speculation about who will take the stage on Court Street during the annual festival.

Martin County Harvest Fest is set for Sept. 18 and 19 in downtown Inez. The event is the county’s longest-running and largest annual festival, drawing large crowds each year for a carnival, free live music, a parade, food, a vendor market and community activities.
