The City of Clinton is pleased to announce the dates for the 2023 Tailgate N’ Tallboys Country Music Festival. After much deliberation, it has been determined that Iowa’s first Tailgate N’ Tallboys festival will be held on Thursday June 8th, Friday June 9th & Saturday June 10th in 2023 featuring some of today’s hottest Country artists right here on Clinton’s Riverfront.
Mayor Scott Maddasion and Parks & Recreation Director Josh Eggers have been working closely with Wayne Klein and Billy Cowell of USA Concerts, as well as other local organizations, to identify dates that will work best for both Clinton and the Tailgate N’ Tallboys Concert series in other states, while considering timing of other festivals in close proximity.
It has been determined that the 2nd weekend in June each year best aligns the Clinton event with the opportunity for success. Wayne Klein, President of USA Concerts stated, “Were excited to bring our growing brand of the Tailgate N’ Tallboys Concert Series to Clinton’s gorgeous Riverfront, with 2nd to none entertainment to the City of Clinton”.
The City of Clinton is also pleased to announce that the color scheme for the Clinton, IA Tailgate N’ Tallboys festival will be blue and red as can be seen below. Through discussions with Mayor Maddasion, Director Eggers and the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, it was determined that the blue and red logo best fits the existing City of Clinton color schemes. This logo will now be used in all of the marketing materials moving forward and even made its debut at the Bloomington, IL Tailgate N’ Tallboys series this past weekend as a sneak peak for the 2023 festival dates on the giant video board.
Artist announcement and Ticket prices will be announced at a later date, but lots of planning is taking place to make this inaugural year a successful one.
