The performers have been booked, over 1,000 volunteers have been signed up, camping spots have been reserved and the weatherman has promised great weather all weekend long.
It’s full steam ahead for this year’s MusicFest with a star studded lineup that includes John Prine, Serena Ryder, 54-40, The Trews and over 25 other world class performers from around the world.
If you haven’t bought your ticket yet, there is still time.
There are a few weekend passes left and a limited number of day passes are also available. In the past, the festival has sold out so if you were considering taking in some of the shows, it would be prudent to get your ticket today.
