Bridge Park's “Fore!Fest” to Tee Off on Friday, June 7, in Partnership with the Memorial Tournament Presented by Workday

Dublin, Ohio - Bridge Park announced today that Fore!Fest, brought to you by Rise Brands, a free, two-day street and music festival, will return as a culmination of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. Fore!Fest will be held throughout the streets of Bridge Park on Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 from 5-10pm. 

This year’s event will be bigger than ever, with live entertainment from six country acts, family-friendly programming including a golf simulator and a tournament-themed paint-by-number, a “Pins Playground'' entertainment area, retail vendors, DORA drink stations, food trucks and more. All Fore!Fest proceeds will go directly to the event’s beneficiaries which support youth in need: Nationwide Children's Hospital, Eat.Learn.Play. Foundation and The Crawford Hoying Foundation.

"We're excited to bring the community together during this amazing event, put on in partnership with the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday and City of Dublin," said Brent Crawford, principal and founder of Crawford Hoying, owner/developer of Bridge Park. “Golf patrons and visitors will get to enjoy an even more incredible event this year, with an all-star country lineup, fun programming, retail vendors, food/drink stations and more.”

Fore!Fest and Bridge Park have teamed up with Getaway Brewing to create a “Fore!Fest Golden Ale”, which will be served on tap at select bars and restaurants throughout Bridge Park, with $1 of each draft sold going toward the beneficiaries. In addition, $1 of each specialty drink sold at the event, as well as a portion of the proceeds from Fore!Fest and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday co-branded koozies, food truck sales and t-shirt sales will go directly toward the three non-profit organizations.

“Since Fore!Fest began in 2018, this special community event has quickly grown into a fan favorite for golf and music enthusiasts alike,” said Dan Sullivan, Executive Director of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. “The Memorial values its partnership with Crawford Hoying and is proud to continue supporting the Bridge Park district and Fore!Fest—featuring something for everyone, including live music, food and beverage options, restaurants and shops, and the Memorial Golf Shop at Bridge Park.”
