Across two glorious late-summer days, MusicFest ‘10 will
bring together the Union County community for a free event
consisting of non-stop musical entertainment and fun for the
entire family. This year three stages will host an exciting
line-up of popular national and local musical acts. (MusicFest
'09 performers included the Third Eye Blind, Pete Yorn,
Kenney Wayne Shepherd, Uncle Cracker, The Gin Blossoms, and
Tommy James & The Shondells.)
In its 13th year, MusicFest will provide a unique marketing
opportunity to connect with a highly desirable audience and
create community support at Union County's most popular and
anticipated event.
