Hundreds of bikers and music lovers are expected to gather for this year’s Music Fest in downtown Eustis on Friday, April 22 and 23. The free festival will feature live music on two stages in waterfront Ferran Park including tribute bands for Southern rock and Guns ’n Roses.
In addition to live music, on Saturday the free two-day event features biker-related competitions like which bike has the loudest pipes or best custom paint job, as well as who has the best arm tattoo or beard.  The daring can also try their hand at wrangling a mechanical alligator and axe throwing.
Eustis Music Festival bands include:
  • Think Big (Southern rock tribute band)
  • Welcome to Destruction (Guns ’n Roses tribute band)
  • The Longest Hall
  •  Double Your Trouble
  • N Fusion and Caribbean Chillers
The festival’s hours are Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Parking is free.   The first 100 attendees to visit the City of Eustis’ tent each day will receive a free, commemorative patch.
