Want to get your groove on? Hot jamz. Cool tunes. Or just plain rockin’. We’ve got them all in a spectacular music lineup from some fantastic groups including bands back by your demand.
It’s all happening throughout our 35th Anniversary weekend. And this year, we have not one, not two, but three stages! That’s because last year we expanded the Festival grounds by 50%. So now you have more elbow room to bob your head, tap your feet, or dance your heart out.
But we aren’t stopping there. This year’s Fan Favorite Battle of the Bands Contest winner, Danielle Stacy will hit the stage Sunday at 11am.
Plus, our new Stage 3 will spotlight youth bands, solo vocalists, drum circles, drum-offs, boom-shaka, music lessons, and raffle prizes. We’ve got all the right moves to help you get your groove on.
