Fort Morgan
The brainchild of northeastern Colorado radio station 97.5 BOB FM, Bobstock Music Festival is a jam-packed weekend tradition in Fort Morgan. It originated in 2008 and takes place around Glen Miller Park during the second weekend every July. When asked about her favorite part of the weekend, festival host Lindsey Bruntz stated, “The entire festival is free to attend and has been since year one.”
What began with four bands and a single stage has grown to a grand community event spread over six blocks with five stages, three beer gardens, and 20 musical acts. This year’s headlining musical guests are Uncle Kracker, Molly Hatchet, and April Wine. What helps make the event successful and free is Bobstock’s devoted partners. One stage is sponsored by the local electric co-op and its power suppliers. Morgan County REA Director of Communications Maddie Pollart said, “Bobstock has always been about making big-city entertainment available to anyone who likes awesome music. Morgan County REA is happy to be part of it.”
DITCH THE DRIVE

COME HUNGRY
This year there will be more than 25 food vendors across the six-block festival. You can find something for everyone and every taste imaginable. Local favorites include Pabst German Pockets and Sugar Beet Treats.
FUN FOR ALL AGES
As in previous years, an arcade bus will be a popular spot for kids, and InFunity Events will host inflatables, obstacle courses, and carnival games. Bands are asked to keep their performances family friendly so all can enjoy.
