The Midnight Riders
Southern rock, a fireworks show, classic cars, and over 30 arts and crafts dealers will all convene Saturday, June 6, at the eleventh annual Wartrace MusicFest in Wartrace, Tn. The six piece Allman Brothers tribute band Midnight Riders from Nashville will close the show with a fireworks display beginning at 10 p.m. Threatening weather prevented the Riders from performing at last year’s festival.
Other main stage acts include Bad Monkey, a high energy crowd favorite playing classic seventies rock, and The Road Crew performing fifties rockabilly. Music will start earlier this year at 1 p.m. with Nashville singer-songwriter Chris Morse, the Low Electric Revival, Dave and Darren, songwriter Everett Brown, and country music favorite Mike Allen and Friends on the Adams and Floyd Contractors Tent Stage.
Gates will open at 10 a.m. with over 30 arts and crafts booths, a classic car display, and barbeque cooked on the premises. Covered table seating will be available in a cabaret setting near the tent stage. A Kid’s Zone with an inflatable slide, art tables, hula hoops, face painting, corn hole contests and pony rides will be open all day.
Admission to Wartrace MusicFest is $5 with children 12 and under admitted free. Parking is free. The event is a non-profit endeavor produced by the Town of Wartrace and the Wartrace Chamber of Commerce to raise money for civic improvements to the town.
