For 11 years, “Pierz Freedom Fest” hosted by the Pierz Area Commercial Club, has proven to be a summertime favorite. This year, on Saturday, July 20th, the line-up includes Mason Dixon Line, Lauren Watkins, Phil Vassar and headliner Chase Rice.
In addition to fabulous music and great camaraderie, guests can enjoy food and beverages. It will take place at the Genola ball fields, one mile south of Pierz on Highway 25.
Country music star Phil Vassar is excited to get back on the road and perform for fans at the Pierz Freedom Fest on Saturday, July 20. Vassar, who first broke into the country music scene in the 1990s and 2000s, took some time off from touring recently but says he’s now feeling re-energized and ready to entertain crowds once again.
Fans can expect to hear Vassar’s signature upbeat hits, such as “Just Another Day in Paradise” and “American Child,” when he takes the stage at Pierz Freedom Fest. After recharging from touring, the seasoned performer is raring to get in front of crowds once more and help celebrate America with a night of feel-good country music. The festival is sure to be a can’t-miss summer event.
Vassar will perform at the Pierz Freedom Fest Saturday, July 20 at 8 p.m. Preceding his performance will be Mason Dixon Line at 4 p.m. and Lauren Watkins at 6 p.m., with headliner Chase Rice following Vassar at 10 p.m. Gates open at 3 p.m.
