Country’s next wave is coming to Oswego.
Get ready for a full day of live country music, bourbon, BBQ, games and festival fun at Boots, Bourbon & BBQ Fest on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Venue 1012.
Headlining the festival is Hayden Coffman, one of country music’s fastest-rising artists, whose breakout single “Better Off” just earned him a gold record and helped propel him to more than 283 million streams.
Joining him is Noah Hicks, bringing his high-energy sound and modern country edge to the Venue 1012 stage.
The lineup also features School of Rock Oswego and local country favorites Tim Gleason Band, playing your favorite hits from Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, Johnny Cash and more!
More Than a Concert
Between sets, take on a full lineup of games and activities, including axe throwing, classic arcade and bar games like NBA Jam and Ms. Pac-Man, nine-hole mini golf and a golf simulator featuring a closest-to-the-pin contest on TPC Sawgrass’ iconic 17th hole.
Come hungry for BBQ food trucks, savory festival favorites and sweet treats throughout the day from award-winning pitmasters and chefs, including Strawberries BBQ, Hell’s BBQ, Gigi’s Grill, The Popcorn Store, and Little Love Sweet Treats.
Guests can also enjoy mixologist-crafted bourbon cocktails, along with a separate ticketed bourbon tasting experience and VIP lounge. Choose from four exclusive tasting sessions hosted by the mixologist team from Bay 54, Oswego’s new cocktail lounge. Each experience begins with a welcome cocktail and a 45-minute guided tasting before guests settle into the private VIP courtyard to finish their samples and enjoy a full live set. (Note: tasting experiences are an add-on ticket, and guests must also have a general admission ticket to attend).
