THOUSAND OAKS — American Idol winner for 2021 and rising country music star Chayce Beckham will perform at the Wild Oaks Country Music Festival, June 3, in Thousand Oaks. Beckham joins a lineup of country performers from Nashville and local favorites.
Beckham’s hits include “23”, “Tell Me Twice” and “Keeping Me Up All Night.” He was named a “2022 Artist to Watch” by Country Now, Country Swag, Music Mayhem Magazine, Sounds Like Nashville. He is currently on a nationwide tour.
Also taking the stage is country chart-topping Craig Morgan, Grammy-nominated CAM, and Southern California locals Justin Honsinger and Chris Johnson and the Hollywood Hillbillies. Jodi Maas will lead line dancing and line dance lessons. The festival features DJ Paul “Sweet P” Flannery and Josh Kelley. Dave Daniels, the morning show host on KHAY, is the MC.
Festival goers can enjoy hot sauce tastings and vote for their favorite sauce, browse over 75 vendors and booths, sample food from a variety of food trucks and enjoy beer, wine and spirits at the Silver Spurs Saloon. There will be a Kids Korral sponsored by the Southeast Ventura County YMCA with plenty of free kids’ activities.
“Wild Oaks is shaping up to be one of the premiere country music festivals in Southern California,” says Mary-Catherine McBride, co-festival chair. “The festival is put on by the Rotary Club of Westlake Village, which means 100 percent of net proceeds will go to local and international nonprofits including military veterans and first responders.”
Discounted early bird tickets ($55, regularly $75 per person) are available until early April on the festival website. A limited number of VIP passes that include free parking, shaded seating next to the stage, private restrooms and food and drink tickets are also on sale for $225. Kids under 12 are free.
The festival will be held at Conejo Creek Park South off the 23 Freeway in Thousand Oaks. Festival hours are noon to 7:00 p.m. Limited onsite parking is $20. Nearby free parking and shuttle service to the festival are also available.
