BayFest October 2, 2009

BayFest celebrates its 15th anniversary on the streets of downtown Mobile October 2-4, 2009 with live musical performances from 125 acts on 9 different stages.

Having grown substantially from a debut crowd of 50,000 in 1995 to an anticipated crowd of 200,000 this year, BayFest is known throughout the region for its vast array of renowned musical talent that suits a wide variety of tastes and the entire family. BayFest is thrilled with the first act announcements for 2009, including Alan Jackson, Akon, T-Pain, and Steve Miller Band. Continue to check out www.bayfest.com for the latest act announcements.

King, 3 Doors Down, Collective Soul, Hootie & The Blowfish, Temptations, The Beach Boys, Uncle Kracker, Keith Urban, Travis Tritt, The Gap Band, STP, Merle Haggard, Ludacris, Velvet Revolver, Big & Rich, Nelly, Kid Rock, Wynonna and hundreds more have performed on BayFest stages at a ticket price that is less than what most individual concerts cost.

BayFest is in early October during characteristically cool and comfortable weather on the streets of newly revitalized downtown Mobile. Festival-goers stroll among historic buildings and through parks in a site that is directly adjacent to the city's entertainment district. BayFest's nine stages offer continuous music for every taste, including country, classic rock, alternative, jazz, R&B, Cajun, reggae, folk, gospel and more. One of the festival's stages, The Launching Pad, is specifically designed for aspiring musicians only, in order to support and showcase those who reach for musical greatness. The event also includes a family stage and extensive children's activity area that has garnered rave reviews in and of itself.
