Since the event was announced, fans of barbecue, brews and country tunes have been clamoring to purchase tickets for The Smokeout Fest, the fabulous one-day festival being held Saturday, Sept. 7 at the famed Southfork Ranch in Parker. Now, the organizers have announced a surprise guest for the evening’s concerts.

Over the past 18 years, Casey Donahew has risen from a favorite on the local Texas music scene, racking up 21 No. 1 singles, to a nationally hot touring act who consistently sells out venues across the country. The Texas Country chart-topper will join Gary Allan, Paul Cauthen and Ryder Grimes on the Southfork Ranch stage. Donahew’s eight independent albums have landed on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and his latest hits are among the most played on Texas radio.

While the evening’s concert starts at 5:30 p.m., the day begins 12 p.m. with VIP access. At 2 p.m., guests can experience barbecue from nearly 50 teams of competitive cooks and vote on People’s Choice.

Tickets for the concert at The Smokeout Fest start at just $75, with VIP tickets including access to the barbecue competition priced at $110. Tickets and parking can be purchased here. Whether you're a lifelong Texan or a visitor looking to experience the best of Texas culture, The Smokeout Fest promises to be an event to remember.
