Voices of America Festival Moves to Butler County Fairgrounds for Aug. 5–7, 2027

Overview

• Organizers announced the 5th annual Voices of America Country Music Festival will be held at the Butler County Fairgrounds in Hamilton, Ohio, Aug. 5–7, 2027, with onsite camping and expanded accommodations.
• West Chester Township notified Further Festivals in June that it would not renew the license for VOA MetroPark after 2026, citing public-safety demands, operational strain, unpaid bills and insufficient local economic benefit.
• Butler County officials and festival leaders completed venue talks in roughly eight days and signed a contract that fairgrounds officials have not publicly detailed.
• When asked about money, festival founder Tyler Wogenstahl said the private organizers have paid about $24 million over four years while Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones declined to disclose what the fairgrounds will receive from the deal.
• County officials plan public briefings with the sheriff and prosecutor and say they will manage logistics such as parking, camping and safety for 2027 while organizers prepare to announce next year’s lineup.
