🎉 After Party Announcement – Bond County Fourth Fest! 🎉

Get ready to keep the celebration going!

Box of Chocolates will take the stage as our official after party band on July 4 on the Bradford National Bank Main Stage — and they’re bringing it all. 🎸🔥

From rock hits and 80s favorites to funk and original music, this band delivers a high-energy show you won’t want to miss.

Featuring the powerhouse vocals of Dave Farver — yes, Greenville, you know him from Super Jam (and El Monstero) — this is going to be one unforgettable night.

The band will take the stage after our amazing laser show. So bring your dancing shoes as we conclude America 250 with a blow out rock and roll party.

We want to give a huge thank you to Box of Chocolates for stepping up to fill our after party void. They are doing us a tremendous favor by performing at Fourth Fest for well below their normal fee — and we couldn’t be more grateful. (Also, thank you to Thom Swain for making this happen).

💥 Stick around after the patriotic laser show — this after party is going to leave you completely worn out (in the best way possible). 💥

🎸 Big Announcement for Bond County Fourth Fest! 🎸

We’re excited to welcome our first replacement act — Levon — as the opening band on Saturday, July 4 on the Bradford National Bank Mainstage!

Levon is a Nashville recording artist that’s played national music festivals, performed on the Grand Ole Opry, toured with major acts, and even served as the house band for last year’s REO Speedwagon reunion. They’ve also got brand new music dropping this July!

We can’t thank Levon enough for stepping up to fill an unexpected opening — and for doing us a huge favor by joining us at a fraction of their normal fee.

🔥 Trust us — Greenville and Bond County are going to LOVE this band. 🔥

Fourth Fest Update

Fourth Fest fans deserve full transparency, so here it is:

Fortunate Son and Peaceful Eagles Feeling have cancelled their July 4 performance. This decision was made by their band leader, JJS MUSIC - John J Shanahan, who chose to book himself with a different group that day.

This is especially disappointing given the circumstances—there was a signed contract in place, a confirmed commitment as recently as May 19, regional print advertising already produced and distributed, an extensive marketing campaign underway (including KSHE radio), and months of coordinated planning behind this event. Despite all of that, the cancellation came without notice, without any effort to work through the conflict, and without acknowledgment of the impact.

In more than a decade of booking bands for this event, we have not encountered this level of unprofessional conduct.

That said, Fourth Fest is bigger than any one act—and we are not slowing down.

Two new bands will have the opportunity to share the bill with a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And yes—Free Bird will be performed live in downtown Greenville as we celebrate America’s 250th.

We appreciate your support, and we’re committed to delivering a Fourth Fest that exceeds expectations—just like we always do.

We are going to have a Princess Party on the Plaza, Saturday, July 4, with a special dance party with Rumi from KPop Demon Hunter. We are looking for a $1,000 sponsor for the party, who can set up at the event. Great opportunity for a business to be visible on Fourth Fest. It will also be in the same area as the Foam Party and Captain America meet and greet, so we anticipate a lot of kids. Reach out to Randy if you want to be the sponsor of this.
