Dreamville preps wrapping up, severe weather risk for Saturday

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Only one more day until Dreamville Festival begins and preparations are wrapping up, but tomorrow's threat for rain may deter people away despite this being a rain or shine event.

Chopper 11 flew over Dorothea Dix Park and it appears everything is in place for the 50-thousand fans expected to show up each day.

Dix Park will be closed to the public today.

Organizers have released the set list for both stages on both days.
