What a total pleasure to welcome “country’s wildest truth-teller” (Rolling Stone) back to the Wilcox Main Stage to close out the season! Known for fearlessly raising her voice through her music, Margo Price delivered an incredibly dynamic performance along the waterfront tonight! Recently nominated for two Grammy Awards and two Americana Awards this year, Margo is on fire! The audience couldn’t get enough of her bold performance and we are so honored to be a stop on her Wild at Heart tour. ❤️‍🔥

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight for an unforgettable ending to what has been a truly magical season at the Arts Festival. We love you. 🫶

Ivey delivered a mix of warm, guitar-driven country rock and folk sound that cut through the late summer air in the park tonight. What a treat to have Margo Price’s husband and creative partner, Jeremy Ivey get things started for our final concert of the summer season!

Tonight is the night- Tom Rush is finally playing Prescott Park Arts Festival! This show has been a long time coming and we are over the moon to have Tom with us tonight.

Tom has a unique ability to weave the past with the present while delivering such a true connection through his performance. It has been an absolute honor to have him with us tonight. It’s been a magical and unforgettable night along the waterfront in Prescott Park. ✨✨ Tom Rush
