The dog days of summer are upon us, and for those of us in the greater Baltimore / DC Region, that can only mean one thing - Hot August Music Festival is on the horizon! 

This year, the festival takes place on August 10th, 2024, at Oregon Ridge Park in Cockeysville, MD. This is a truly cherished festival in the region, set in a beautiful regional park. Spend your time down near the stage or on the gentle green slopes, watching the festival unfold before your eyes below.

This year's edition features musical performances by Grace Potter, Snarky Puppy, Neal Francis, Cris Jacobs, Eggy, Sam Grisman Project, Pressing Strings, PRS Eightlock, and The Hot August Collective.  This lineup will provide a spectacular festival that delight fans across all music genres.

 A ticket is required for admission to the festival grounds for every person over the age of 12. Children 12 and under are admitted FREE and do not need a ticket but must be accompanied by an adult.0

 Tickets grant General Admission to the festival grounds with access to both stages of music, food and drink, vendors, games, kids area, and more. VIP tickets are available and include numerous VIP amenities. All vehicles parking on site will be required to have a parking pass. GA parking passes are available for purchase below, and VIP tickets include access to premiere parking in the price of that ticket so no additional parking pass is required. Event is rain or shine and all sales are final.

Last year, new festival co-owners Ryan Glaeser and Robert Cooper sat down to talk to us about the 30th edition of the festival.  Read our interview with both Ryan and Robert below.

These two creatives and their staff caught lightning in a bottle is a truly outstanding edition of the festival and they are back once again with another exceptional edition in store for us all.

So what are you waiting for?  Hot August looms on the not so distant horizon.
