Presented by LevelUp Seed & Garden Supply

We welcome you to join us for a weather-proof day of revelry and music. Long Bridge's private event tent will be set up regardless of rain or shine- so the party cannot be dampered!

Food and drink will be available all day via Long Bridge Golf Course's kitchen and fully stocked bar.

Attendees must be 21 or older at the date of the event. In accordance with all state and local ordinances, smoking must be outdoors (including no smoking in the event tent).

Vendors and 420 giveaways!

Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 Day of Show (if available). Due to limited space, only 420 tickets total are available- Eventbrite quantities will be updated regularly.

Golfers, check out this 420 golf outing before our concert at Long Bridge Golf Course in Springfield. Play some golf and then check out our 420 show in the Long Bridge party tent. Golf is optional to attend the concert.

"Grab your ugliest golf outfit and bag, it's time to have some fun! The first-ever Fore Twenty Golf Outing is intended for players who are more interested in enjoying some time on the course than breaking the course record- and our award system proves it. Organizers are working on additional ways to mix things up and make challenges at the holes, but for starters....

There are NO money prizes and NO trophies for the lowest scorecards.

Trophies will however be provided to chosen recipients in- but not limited to- the following categories:
Ugliest or "best" outfit
Shortest blown putt
Longest drive (end lie must be in the rough)
Most sand traps visited
Most lost balls
Most ridiculous score (could be high, could be low- who knows?!?)

This event is $35 per golfer with a hard cap of 36 golfers for this event. Entry fee includes a 9-hole round of golf, cart rental, and one ticket to The Holiday Concert featuring Sunshine Daydream and Positively 4th Street- hosted at LBGC starting at 2pm that afternoon. Door prizes and any potential swag will be contingent upon availability from sponsors. We aren't making money off this event; it's just an excuse to have a great time on a fun day!
Participants must be 21 or older on the date of the event in order to participate."

Viewing the eclipse from central or northern Illin

Viewing the eclipse from central or northern Illinois? This fest may be one of your closest options to view the eclipse in the center of the "totality" spectrum. Live music from Saturday to Monday. They will have day passes available at the door for $40 plus $40 per car for parking. Camping included. Avoid the crazy traffic expected in the Shawnee areas. Weather forecast is looking good too! Sunshine Daydream plays 6pm Saturday.

There are a lot of options out there to view the solar eclipse next weekend in totality. Here are some good reasons to check out our Eclipse Fest in Mill Shoals...

• View eclipse in perfect totality.
• If you are travelling from north or central Illinois or St. Louis area, this location is at least 1 hour drive closer than other viewing areas in Shawnee or Carbondale.
• This fest is right off a major highway. Southern Illinois does not have the infastructure for the large crowds they expect (40,000-50,000 people). The last eclipse had major traffic jams.
• Scenic forest location
• The fest is in a sparsely populated area with a clear view of the sky
• The fest is cheaper than comparable fests. RSVP for as little as $5 down.
• Bands like Sunshine Daydream, Sun Stereo and One Way Traffic will be playing
• 1, 2, 3 and 4 day passes available

Anyway, hope you can join us. Sunshine Daydream plays Saturday night.
