Joining Hicks on Friday
will be Cold Creek County,
performing hits, such as
"Beer Weather", "Till the
Wheels Come Off" and
London Ontario's Gene-
vieve Fisher.
Lucknow's Music in the
Fields will once again kick
off the festival with the
highly popular "Thursday
Night Throw -Down" featur-
ing Meghan Patrick.
The hugely popular Emerg-
ing Artist Showdown will be
back where today's up and
coming artists have a stage to
showcase their talent on the
Sepoy Saloon Side stage.
Much has changed for
2017, most importantly
moving the venue to a new
site. Still within the limits
of Lucknow, the entire fes-
tival will be at "Graceland ;
including all campsites,
which means everyone will
have easy access to the fes-
tival grounds.
Other new experiences
include: Additional beverage
selection from Craft brewer-
ies and wineries, which will
augment the traditional
Sepoy Saloon selections, and
a new all -ages festival
grounds.
"Not many villages can
speak to the talent that has
performed at Lucknow's
Music in the Fields, but it
has developed into so
much more than a music
festival," said Neeb. "With
around 75% of the patrons
camping, the festival has
become a weekend -
destination. In this very
competitive market, we
continue to make changes
to keep the event fresh and
look for new ways to engage
our crowds."
He added that despite all
of the changes, the event
remains the "same intimate,
family -friendly festival, with
100% of the proceeds going
to charity." -
With distributions now
over $1,000,000, MITF
remains a critical compo-
nent of the local
community.
