Your hands are raised, clapping to the tempo of a new song you haven’t heard before, but you really like its beat. All around you, 2,000 other fans are doing the same thing – some of them singing along, others cheering when the vocalist reaches a high note. It’s energy, passion and the premiere fall event in Cape Girardeau.

About the Venue

The outdoor festival will take place in Ivers Square, located near the Common Pleas Courthouse. With one stage, you’ll be able to rock out to every band instead of settling for a few favorites. 

Tip: It’s a rain or shine event, so be sure to check the weather before hand and prepare accordingly. 

About the Crowd

We’re expecting 2,000 energetic fans to pack out the area. That’s why we’ve got delicious food and cold drinks ready to go. We consider this a celebration of music and culture in the local community – a time to share our passion for what makes Cape great. 

Tip: The more people, the better the band plays (not scientifically proven). Do your part by being there and helping make this festival a blast.
