FOREST CITY, Iowa — More than 50 artists will rock the farm at the annual, family friendly Christian music festival known as Bash on the Farm Friday and Saturday, June 8 and 9.

The festival features Tricia Brock and Fireflight and begins at 1 p.m. Friday with bands on the Shed Stage. Music begins on the Yard Stage at 2 p.m. and the Main Stage at 4:30 p.m.

The new location, a 91-acre site near Forest City, Iowa, keeps with the festival’s namesake farm theme and allows organizers to offer greater amenities.
