Tips for Attending VOA Country Music Fest
Plan your arrival time before festival weekend. If you are attending Friday through Sunday, gates open at 1:00 PM, but parking opens at noon. Arriving earlier can help with traffic, parking, wristbands and finding your way around the festival grounds.
Bring a clear bag and pack only what you need. Sunscreen, your phone, ID, payment method, empty approved water bottle and any medically necessary items are good basics to think through before you go.
Stay hydrated. Empty squeezable soft plastic water bottles are allowed, and the festival has hydration stations available.
Check the schedule closer to the festival. The lineup has been announced, but set times and stage details may be updated as the event gets closer.
Make a parking and pickup plan. With a large festival crowd, it’s smart to know where you parked, where your group will meet, and how you plan to leave at the end of the night.
Voices of America Country Music Fest 2026 is shaping up to be a major country music weekend in West Chester, Ohio. With Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton and Jordan Davis leading the four-day lineup, fans have plenty to look forward to August 6-9.
