It's FREE, all ages, has three stages, and they have an event license until 4AM!! So why are we announcing this show with only a few days' notice??? The response to this fest required adding a few additional bands within the last week..Our stage starts with Voodoo (Godsmack tribute) from 8-9, then fireworks from 9-9:15, then My Sacrifice (Creed Tribute) from 9:30-10:30, THEN the one and only Too Hype Crew from 11-1.
