Bratwurst Festival Inc. is proud to announce that country music legend Tracy Byrd will headline Friday night’s entertainment at the 2025 Bratwurst Festival in downtown Bucyrus.
With over 6 million albums sold, three #1 singles, and a catalog full of fan favorites like “Watermelon Crawl,” “The Keeper of the Stars,” and “I’m From the Country,” Tracy Byrd is one of country music’s most recognizable voices. His career, which took off in the early ’90s, has earned him six Gold albums, a Double Platinum certification, and a dedicated fanbase across the country.
Byrd will take the stage following a performance by Ohio’s own Toby May, leading into a night of high-energy country music under the festival lights.
This year, the Main Stage will once again be located inside the Bratwurst Festival Beer Garden. The area will be clearly sectioned to accommodate all guests—with a 21+ section where alcohol will be served and strictly enforced, as well as a family-friendly section open to all ages. Guests are encouraged to come early, grab a brat, and find a seat before the music begins.
“Having someone of Tracy Byrd’s caliber join us for Friday night is a big deal,” said Doug Foght, Festival Director. “His music brings people together and adds another level of excitement to an already packed weekend. We can’t wait to see the streets filled and the crowd singing along.”
The concert is free to the public and will take place on the Main Stage in the Beer Garden on Friday, August 15, 2025. It’s part of a three-day celebration filled with live music, parades, contests, vendors, and plenty of bratwurst. Bratwurst Festival Inc. thanks all of our generous sponsors, especially our title sponsor, Ohio Mutual Insurance Group, for making this entertainment possible.
