Everything You Need to Know About the Taste of Country Music Festival

Lots of Hawk country fans from Binghamton will be traveling this week down Route 17 to catch the Taste of Country Music Festival, the largest 3-day country music and camping festival in the Northeastern United States.  More than 20 concerts crammed in to 3 days of music with an impressive list of Nashville's biggest acts.

Kenny Chesney, Jake Owen and Kid Rock are set to headline on their respective days with Gary Allan, Big & Rich, Frankie Ballard, Eric Paslay, Chris Janson, Old Dominion, Neal McCoy, The Swon Brothers, The Cadillac Three, Jana Kramer and more adding their unique sounds and hits to one of the biggest festivals in the country, certainly the Northeast.

For the most complete schedule of performances, click HERE but keep in mind that this schedule is tentative as things are bound to change with performers at the last minute.  For arrival instructions including directions, maps, parking info and lodging and camping questions, click HERE.

If you're going for the day or all three days (lucky YOU!), you may want to grab your extra sunscreen, a couple changes of clothes, comfortable shoes/boots, a hat, rain gear and an umbrella, just in case. This is singularly the best advice past TOC Festers give us each year.  Trust me, prepare!

New this year, is the brand new Rally Bus and Single Day VIP.  All your FAQ's can be answered on the Taste of Country Music Fest web site at TasteofCountryFestival.com
