Country music fans will gather at the Fort Mill Amphitheater at Walter Elisha Park on Saturday, Aug. 8, for Tribute Fest 2026, a free evening festival featuring live performances, local food vendors, and family entertainment.
The event runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 345 N. White St., with gates opening ahead of an opening set by a regional country cover band perform from 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m.
Headlining the festival from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. is Kenny & Luke’s Country Beach Party, a tribute act celebrating the music of Kenny Chesney and Luke Bryan. The performance combines Chesney’s island-inspired country sound with Bryan’s high-energy anthems, featuring hits such as “American Kids,” “When the Sun Goes Down,” and “Country Girl (Shake It for Me).”
Attendees can purchase food, snacks, and beverages from nearly 20 local vendors, including Archie Boys BBQ, King of Fire Pizza, Baltimore Crabcake, and Rita’s Italian Ice. Beer and wine will also be available for purchase.
Organizers advise attendees to bring lawn chairs or blankets. Admission is free.
