'Biggest Music Event Shorewood Has Ever Seen:' Papa Magoo's Music Fest Offers Cold Drinks, Great Food

SHOREWOOD, IL — This summer hasn't felt the same because the Joliet Park District opted to cancel the Taste of Joliet in June, an event that drew many of country music's biggest-known stars to Memorial Stadium year after year. But for country music lovers, all is not lost. For the second year in a row, just up Route 52 at County Line Road, Papa Magoo's Bar and Grill will be hosting its second-ever Papa Magoo's Music Fest.

It's a full day festival of live music, cold drinks, great food and unforgettable vibes, the marketing promotion notes.

"Advance tickets are strongly encouraged," Papa Magoo's announced. People can purchase advanced tickets here.

The event will take place Saturday, Sept. 19 in the large Papa Magoo's parking lot. Bryan Martin is the headliner and his smash hit "We Ride" reached top 3 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart. Martin has attained more than 1.4 billion career streams and millions of monthly listeners.

"Martin's grit-soaked sound resonates across a vast audience. His hard-earned success also earned him a nomination for MusicRow Awards' 2024.
