Every year, Madisonville does it up BIG for the 4th of July with 4th Fest and Praise in the Park. This year, it's gonna be epic as we celebrate America's 250th birthday.

Organizers do such a good job booking acts that cover multiple genres so that there is something for everyone. On July 3rd and 4th, folks will gather at Madisonville City Park to celebrate freedom, community, and enjoy amazing live music. Last year was record-breaking, with more than 32,000 in attendance.

The Friday night line-up is a HUGE 90s R&B and Rap Extravaganza! Millenials? Mount up!  How about some All 4 One?! The way I sang this song into my hairbrush back in the day, how about y'all?

On Saturday, our buddy Myles Gee is kicking the night off. He is SO talented, I can't think of anyone better to get the party going. With a mentor like Billy Strings? Heck yeah!

Thanks to generous sponsors like Toyota of Madisonville, this is one of the best weekends of the year. I mean, what could be better than a free concert? Oh, I know. A free concert followed by colorful explosives and patriotism! The fun doesn't stop there either. The next day is the Praise in the Park concert. That line-up will be announced at a later date.
