The inaugural festival will coincide with West Chester's bicentennial year.

“West Chester is thrilled to host the Voices of America Country Music Festival in 2023, bringing thousands of people to our hometown as we celebrate our bicentennial year,” Larry Burks, West Chester Township administrator, said in a statement.

The festival is being produced by Further Concepts, a Cincinnati-based entertainment company. Along with live music, the event will also feature Cincinnati food vendors, "unique onsite activations" and an appearance from the Cincinnati Reds, the release said.

“West Chester is the perfect fit for the Voices of America Country Music Fest; the township and Travel Butler County helped create the perfect combination for the longevity and success of this new event,” Tyler Wogenstahl, president of Further Concepts and Investors, said. “With a unique balance of headliners and up-and-coming country artists, this will be Southwest Ohio’s largest country music festival."

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. A portion of the proceeds will go toward the Voice of America Museum. Find out more and buy tickets at voacountrymusicfest.com.
