This year's festival will also feature two back-to-back live musical acts. City Heat, a five-piece band with Bunker Hill’s own Bill Sehlmeyer on drums, will take the stage from 12 to 4 p.m. before a performance from Rock Bottom closes out the evening from 6 to 10 p.m.
The Bunker Hill Speed Demons Car Club is hosting both a Car Show and Burnout Contest at this year’s event. Participants can register for the Car Show starting at 8 a.m., with awards being presented at 4 p.m. and goodie bags available for the first 100 cars that enter the show. Show cars are asked to enter on Highway 159 at Park Street.
The Burnout Contest kicks off at 5 p.m. with an entry fee of $20 per car. Contestants will take turns burning rubber for a chance to win the first-place ranking and go home with a cash prize and custom trophy.
