This all-day, county-wide, event will return again for 2024!

Calling all music lovers! Mercer County, Illinois will again welcome the Ride 17 Music Festival. This county-wide event celebrates our vibrant local talent and showcases beloved artists from neighboring areas. Ride 17 Music Fest is not just a music festival; it is a chance to immerse yourself in our local culture and experience what we have to offer. Music flows throughout the county for a whole day and brings in local artists, as well as talent from the surrounding counties.
