The Battle of the Bands on July 5, 2025 is a kickoff to
the 2nd DwightFest Music Festival on September 21, 2025!
Join us on July 5th at the Grayton Beer Taproom to watch the incredible Will Thompson Band and The Pickled Pickers battle it out with songs from multiple genres selected by a panel of Grammy studded judges!
Food Trucks will be onsite and of course delicious Gyaton Beer will also be available for purchase! Doors open at 5pm, show starts at 6pm.
So the first DwightFest is in the books (Dec 7-8, 2024). I feel like this new SoWal charity is off to a good start. We will begin planning the next event soon and I expect we will do several events a year although probably only one big concert like this last one. I am already looking into a few things to talk to our board about. Remember in the meantime you can contribute to this cause anytime. I want to make sure that all of you know that no one on our board gets any salary. We are here because we love Dwight Ward and want to help the community. Thanks in advance for looking into a tax deductible contribution to this cause.
