Festival entertainment is headlined by The Grass Roots on Saturday, Sept. 7. If the band’s name isn’t immediately familiar, it’s likely its songs are.

Top hits include “Let’s Live for Today,” Sooner or Later,” and “Midnight Confessions.” Only nine bands (including The Beatles) have charted more hits on Billboard’s Hot 100 than The Grass Roots.
Friday night entertainment features the R & B group Men of Soul featuring Personal Touch.
