Live entertainment, kid-friendly activities, fireworks, more on tap
SPRING GROVE — It’s almost time for the kickoff event to fest season, the B4 Summer Festival, which takes place Saturday, June 13, at the renowned Richardson Adventure Farm, 909 English Prairie Road, Spring Grove.
Gates will open at 3 p.m. for the fest, coordinated by and benefiting the Chain O’ Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 if purchased the day of the event, whether online or at the gate. They are available at b4fest.com.
Featuring live entertainment, numerous family-friendly, free activities (plus a few like zip-lining for an added fee), several food and beverage trucks, craft beer, a bourbon tasting, wine tasting, dog-friendly grounds and an evening capped off with fireworks, the event runs through 10:45 p.m.
“We call it the ultimate party for a purpose,” said Jim Wojdyla, B4 fest co-founder and chairman, as well as lead singer for Modern Day Romeos, the fest’s headlining band. “This fest is so special because it is inside Richardson Adventure Farm — with so many fun, free activities like pedal cars, giant jumping pillows, a giant slide, playgrounds, yard games and the 50-foot-tall observation tower, all normally closed this time of year, but they open just for us.”
“All proceeds are reinvested back into the community,” added Therese Matthys, executive director of the Chain O’ Lakes chamber and fest co-founder.
