Fore!Fest to Tee off on Friday, May 30, in Partnership with the Memorial Tournament Presented by Workday

Dublin, Ohio - Bridge Park announced today that Fore!Fest, brought to you by Carnivore Snax, a free, two-day street and music festival, will return as the official offsite destination for the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. Fore!Fest will be held throughout the streets of Bridge Park on Friday, May 30 from 5-10pm and Saturday, May 31 from 5-11pm. 

This year’s event will set the stage with live performances, family-friendly programming including a golf simulator, outdoor games, retail vendors, Designated Outdoor Refreshment Areas (DORA) drink stations, food trucks and more. All Fore!Fest proceeds will go directly to the event’s beneficiaries which support youth in need: Nationwide Children's Hospital, Eat.Learn.Play. Foundation and The Crawford Hoying Foundation.

“The Memorial values its partnership with Crawford Hoying and is proud to continue supporting the Bridge Park district and Fore!Fest—featuring something for everyone, including live music, food and beverage options, restaurants and shops, and the Memorial Golf Shop at Bridge Park,” said Memorial Tournament Executive Director, Dan Sullivan. “Since Fore!Fest began in 2018, this special community event has quickly grown into a fan favorite for golf and music enthusiasts alike.” 

In addition, Fore!Fest and Bridge Park have teamed up to support a great cause–$1 of each specialty drink sold at DORA stations throughout the event, as well as a portion of the proceeds from Fore!Fest and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday co-branded koozies and t-shirt sales, will directly benefit the three non-profit organizations.

"We’re thrilled to bring the community together for another year of Fore!Fest, made possible through our partnership with the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday and the City of Dublin," said Brent Crawford, principal and founder of Crawford Hoying, the owner and developer of Bridge Park. "This year, golf fans and visitors can expect eight live performances, outdoor activations, pop-up vendors, food and drink stations and an even larger drone show than last year."

This year’s event will feature well-known country artists, including:

Friday, May 30

• Alan Carl 
• Blake Tyler
• Josh Melton

Saturday, May 31

• Dust By Monday

• North to Nashville

In addition to live music, the event will feature the Memorial Tournament Drone Show, numerous DORA stations, food trucks and more vendors including:

The Memorial Tournament’s second annual Drone Show at Fore!Fest returns and will take place on Friday, May 30, at approximately 9:45 p.m., during the conclusion of the final Fore!Fest musical act featuring Josh Melton. This year’s show will be bigger and better with more drones for the 15-minute custom lights show that will fill the sky with 300 foot tall by 500 foot wide choreographed Memorial Tournament, golf, and Dublin themed imagery to cap off the Tournament’s second round of competition and the first day of music, food and fun at Fore!Fest. The ideal viewing locations for the drone show include The Dublin Link pedestrian bridge, Riverside Crossing Park, Bridge Park, and Historic Dublin east of the Columbus Metropolitan Library – Dublin Branch. Fans should face west with an unobstructed view for the best drone show audience viewing experience.
