Guthrie's River Ruckus

Guthrie's River Ruckus, along with Busch Light, is excited to announce the addition of the Watering Hole for the 10th Annual Guthrie's River Ruckus. Located just south of the main concert area, come and enjoy some great outdoor activities Friday and Saturday, as well as a free concert Thursday (as long as you have a ticket to enter the grounds for Friday and/or Saturday).

We know the river is a blast at the Ruckus, but with our 10th year upon us, we wanted to begin offering more to do during the day on LAND! This year we are expanding the area where the Thursday night show was last year. Beau Braswell and Cody Hicks will get the Watering Hole kicked off on Thursday night, July 26th! It will remain open Friday and Saturday during the day.

Watering Hole Times:

• Friday: 12pm - 6pm
• Saturday: 11am - 6pm

Watering Hole Contests:

• Angry Orchard - "Angry Mullet" (Friday at 2pm - more info below)

Happy Hour

That's right - both Friday and Saturday night, from 5-6, make sure you're at the Watering Hole to catch the 2 for 1 Happy Hour deal!
