#FEST: THE HISTORY
#FEST is The Premier College Music Festival Experience. Established in 2004 at Ohio University, #FEST has grown to become the biggest and best Collegiate Music Festival in the United States. For the last decade, #FEST has helped launch some of today's brightest music stars to new heights. Based in Athens, OH, the ambiance and culture surrounding #FEST and the community in which the Festival was founded creates a once in a lifetime experience for all in attendance. #FEST is like no other college party in the country. Our mission is based around providing the best music and entertainment possible for lowest price possible. With our one of a kind BYOB format, this is as Woodstock as it gets, or so says the 15,000 plus in attendance every year. Prepare yourself for a day full of fun, sun and memories that will last well beyond your days on campus.
Rumor has it the Mayor of Athens was late for a family member’s wedding because he was stuck in 5Fest traffic for 2 hours. Rumor also has it 5Fest was almost shut down by local law enforcement when thousands of beer cans started being lunched in the air. It was also the first of 3 #Fests that rain played a major role in. With the rain, came the mud. Despite the challenges, 5Fest pushed on and became the largest #Fest to date with over 12,000 muddy revelers. At this point, #Fest pushed the limits of the property where they were being held, and after pressure from the local community, the search for a new venue had begun.
