SPRINGFIELD, Tenn. – The City of Springfield is excited to announce American Idol runner-up HunterGirl will be the featured headliner at the city’s fourth annual Freedom Fest, presented by Grace Baptist Church. HunterGirl will take the stage on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at the Robertson County Fairgrounds. The concert is free and open to the public.

Since being named runner-up on season 20 of ABC’s American Idol, HunterGirl’s authenticity, unwavering tenacity and heart of gold have positioned her as Country’s next star, earning praise she’d only dreamed of – like Idol judge and Country icon Luke Bryan praised her as the “new age Miranda Lambert” and his “favorite female Country voice.” Skyrocketing to No. 1 on iTunes All-Genre and Country charts with her earnest and deeply personal original track “Red Bird,” she’s performed on Live with Kelly & Ryan, appeared on Good Morning America, and was named a 2023 Artist to Watch by Music Mayhem.

The City of Springfield is looking forward to welcoming local artists The Band Entice and Fortunate Sons, with performances beginning at 5:00 p.m.

In addition to live music, Freedom Fest will feature carnival rides, inflatables, and local vendors. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from a variety of food vendors. The evening will conclude with the city’s fireworks display around 9:00 p.m.

Excitement builds for this event year after year with attendance reaching over 9,000 in 2023.
