(WILDWOOD, NJ) -- Country music's biggest stars will be in Wildwood when the inaugural Barefoot Country Music Fest (BCMF) takes place Friday, June 19 through Sunday, June 21 on the beach at Lincoln Avenue. The three-day event will host over 30 of country music's biggest stars and up-and-comers on multiple stages on the beach. With the combination of country music and the scenic beach backdrop, this family-friendly festival is sure to attract thousands of new visitors of all ages. Festival artists will be announced on Tuesday, January 7.
BCMF is brought to you by Southern Entertainment, the producers of the award-winning Carolina Country Music Fest (CCMF) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the largest outdoor country music fest on the East Coast. BCMF is expected to be the Northeast’s largest outdoor country music festival, occupying a 27-acre playground on the beach.
“We're grateful for the opportunity to host BCMF in a beloved vacation destination like Wildwood and appreciate the tremendous cooperation and support of the current administration, Mayor Ernie Troiano and current Commissioner, and future Mayor, Pete Byron, for all they've done to make this incredible event a reality,” said Rob Pedlow of Southern Entertainment. “We look forward to developing a partnership with Mayor-elect Byron and this community that will last for years to come, in addition to a great event!”
“We're excited to bring the top talent like we have brought to CCMF to the Wildwoods,” said Bob Durkin, President of Carolina Country Music Fest. “We will bring our talent pool, experience and success to make Barefoot Country Music Fest a world class event.
Early bird tickets will be available to the public on Friday, January 10 at 8:00am.
“The Barefoot Country Music Fest will be one of the most exciting events ever held in the Wildwoods, bringing thousands of new visitors to the Wildwoods at the very start of the summer tourism season. The economic impact on the Wildwoods and Cape May County should prove to be enormous, filling our hotels with overnight visitors, increasing restaurant covers and retail expenditures and generating increased revenue for all our attractions. We are excited that this great three-day festival will take place on our award-winning beach,” said John Siciliano, Executive Director/CFO of the Greater Wildwoods Tourism Authority.
