Route 57 WestFest, the music festival that made its debut at last year’s Memorial Day Fair, returns to the venue this year with wall-to-wall performances during the fair’s Saturday and Sunday hours (May 24 and 25), 2:00 to 10:00. The fair itself runs Friday through Monday.

16 acts are set to perform in a variety of genres over the festival’s run, artists ranging from student soloists to some of the best known rock bands in the region, all appearing on a top-notch stage with professional sound engineering, all with strong ties to Weston.

Route 57 WestFest comes together from the efforts of students, parents, industry professionals, and other volunteers. Proceeds benefit the Weston Middle School PTO’s programs and enrichment activities that support Weston students.

The festival’s organizers welcome businesses to join the list of corporate sponsors, and family sponsorships are available as well.

To arrange a corporate sponsorship, email one of WestFest’s co-chairs: Chris Bryant or Maria Rowbotham.

A limited number of family sponsorship packages are available. At various levels, benefits include having a sponsor banner placed next to the stage, a VIP parking space, and a lawn tent. Learn more about options here.

A third way to support the festival is to pre-purchase WestFest merch, which includes limited-edition tee shirts, VIP tents that give you a private prime viewing space, and VIP parking.
