VOA Country Music Fest

"Had a blast! Great music good food delicious drinks and so many good speachws"

"Awesome show for the money. Not a big country music fan but have been 2 years in a row and will be again next year. Good time all around. Better water and beer selection and would be nice though."

"I’m a mile down the street and I can hear drums, guitar, singing, and cheering almost as clear as day (from inside my house). It’s like I’m there but didn’t even spend the high prices to attend lol. I feel sorry for the old folks across the street at the retirement home. Next year, please organize in an area that can accommodate such a large amount of cars and isn’t so residential."

"Stay home. Keep your money. In a time when we need more for less, Lori’s Roadhouse and the VOA Country Music Festival has given us less for much much more. The event is over sold, and in true Lori’s Roadhouse fashion they have segmented sales to two levels of vip to the stage, and overpriced them so no one is near the stage. Last year you could go right up to the stage. Not this year. They have half the amount of bathrooms as last year which is a problem. Fights break out around the bathrooms and there is little security at the event. Lori’s sold the rights to non-alcoholic beverages to the festival setup company, who does not keep drinks by the food. So get you food and while or gets cold walk a mile to a drink, or get a cold drink and let it get warm while you walk and wait for food. The grounds slope down away from the stage and the stage is not positioned to be viewed. So if you are more than half way back in general admission you can only hear the artist — YOU WILL NEVER SEE THEM. Why not? Lori’s Roadhouse and VOA fest allow seat saving. So everyone rushes in when the gates open then throw down blankets and a multitude of chairs at 1pm for their return for the main artists at 9pm. This is a money grab not a community festival."

"$36 to park over a mile away. Had to dump my unopened water bottle out prior to entry just to fill it up again with sink water on the inside. Cheapest beer Busch light $10. Mich ultra $12. No affordable food options so eat before you go. Restrooms are disgusting- they need to be kept up with throughout the evening. Not enough restrooms/ Long wait. Lineup for 4 days isn’t the best and doesn’t match the ticket price. Lots of pop country from people you’ve never heard of. Don’t buy a 4 day pass. As the event gets closer you can buy single day tickets. Had friends in VIP area they said it was overly crowded. Jason Aldean is the highlight of the weekend and the reason for 2 stars."
