The festival will be headlined by Drake Milligan, a Fort Worth-based emerging artist who has previously performed at prestigious venues like the Grand Ole Opry and CMA Awards. Milligan will be performing songs from his album "Dallas/Fort Worth" with his signature baritone voice and country twang. Also performing will be the Powell Brothers, known for a fast-paced combination of classic country and Southern rock. The festival will also contain special areas such as the Armadillo Dance Floor, Silver Saloon VIP Lounge and an arcade and games area featuring a mechanical bull and photo booth.
The concert will coincide with the 180th annual meeting of the Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber will be presenting awards to people and organizations who have contributed to Galveston's economic development past and present, including a Galvestonian of the Year prize. The festival is supported by sponsorships from local businesses that will be prominent on banner printing and other promotional materials.
