SURPRISE SHOW!
It’s been a week since the 2021 festival and we’re still basking in the afterglow of gathering together for live music! THANK YOU to every soul who attended, bbq vendor, volunteer, musician, and sponsor who made it possible to return after a dark year. The logistics were different and we rolled with the punches, but there is nothing like a pandemic show human resilience. Your support made it possible to eat, drink, dance and, most importantly, be together again on the streets of downtown Springfield ❤️🎸🍗🍻🎵😎❤️
