Old Crow Medicine Show
For the first time in the last eleven years, the festival will not include evening concerts at the nearby Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. WXPN General Manager Roger LaMay said, “For our 30th year, we’re gathering with the WXPN community entirely in Wiggins Park, our festival home since 2005, for an intimate concert experience that recalls and honors the festival’s roots.”
Produced in partnership with the Camden County Board of Commissioners and featuring WXPN’s expertly curated mix of established, new and local artists, the XPoNential Music Festival is WXPN’s signature annual concert event that draws audiences from throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, Mid-Atlantic region, and Northeastern US to the Delaware Riverfront in Camden. The festival’s Wiggins Park location offers convenient access via public transportation, two stages and natural amphitheaters that produce great sound, and festival seating and riverfront promenades that offer spectacular views of the Delaware River and Philadelphia skyline. Festival amenities include an artist meet-and-greet area for WXPN members, a children’s activities area, and extensive food, drink, and vendor selections.
