Country Music Takes Over Woodward Park!
Boots in the Park is back in Fresno for another all-day country blowout, and the 2026 fall edition is stacked. The festival lands at Woodward Park on Saturday, September 19, 2026 with a headlining set from breakout traditional-country sensation Zach Top, support from Jo Dee Messina, Max McNown, Tyler Braden, and more across an afternoon-into-night lineup. Coverage from KSKS-FM has been promoting the event since the lineup dropped.
Zach Top is having one of the most-watched runs in country music. His traditional-country-leaning sound -- think Vince Gill and Keith Whitley filtered through a 21st-century streaming sensibility -- has resonated with fans tired of pop-country production. Tracks like "Sounds Like the Radio," "I Never Lie," and "Use Me" have been driving his momentum, and a Boots in the Park Fresno headlining slot is a clear sign of how fast that momentum is moving. Coverage from Billboard has tracked his rapid rise across album cycles.
The bill also brings Jo Dee Messina, the multi-platinum country veteran with No. 1 hits like "Heads Carolina, Tails California," "Bye, Bye," "I'm Alright," and "Stand Beside Me" -- a fan-favorite presence on every festival she plays. Max McNown, the Oregon-born singer-songwriter who broke out of TikTok onto the country mainstream, brings his streaming-era ballads. Tyler Braden, the former firefighter turned Warner Music Nashville signee, rounds out the headline tier with hits like "Try Losing One" and "What Do They Know."
Woodward Park is one of Fresno's signature outdoor settings -- a 300-acre regional park with mature shade trees, walking trails, and a Japanese garden, transformed for festival day into the kind of country-music gathering Boots in the Park is known for.

Inside Boots in the Park Fresno
Boots in the Park has become one of the most consistent country festivals in the Western United States. Run by Activated Events, the festival has expanded steadily from a one-off Fresno date into a multi-city circuit hitting cities across California and the Southwest. The Fresno edition at Woodward Park has been an anchor of the calendar, with past lineups featuring acts like Jon Pardi, Koe Wetzel, Miranda Lambert, Post Malone, Jelly Roll, and dozens of country radio and streaming heavyweights.
The September 19, 2026 edition leans into the traditional-country revival that has been reshaping the genre over the past two years. Zach Top -- the Washington State-born singer with a steel-guitar-and-fiddle sound that wouldn't have been out of place in 1990 -- is the centerpiece. His recent album cycle has produced multiple radio singles and one of the most-watched live runs in country, with setlists tracked at setlist.fm showing how he balances his original material with classic country covers that bring the older audience along.
The supporting bill is strong. Jo Dee Messina has had a remarkable mid-career resurgence after her cameo on Kelsea Ballerini's reimagined "Heads Carolina, Tails California" reintroduced her to a new generation. Her catalog -- "Bye, Bye," "I'm Alright," "Lesson in Leavin'," and a deep run of 90s and early-2000s singles -- still resonates at country festivals like Boots in the Park. Max McNown, signed to Capitol Records Nashville, has parlayed massive TikTok numbers into chart presence with songs like "A Lot More Free" and "Better Me for You." Tyler Braden, signed to Warner Music Nashville, broke through with "Try Losing One" and has been a steady country-radio presence since.
Woodward Park itself is part of what makes Boots in the Park Fresno special. The 300-acre regional park sits in north Fresno and features mature oak and pine trees, walking trails, a Japanese garden, and broad open meadows that make it an ideal festival venue. For festival day, the park hosts the main stage, beverage gardens, food vendor village, country-themed retail vendors, and merch booths. Parking is on-site and additional lots are available; ride-share drop-off is supported, and the surrounding north Fresno area has plenty of pre- and post-show options. More info on the venue is available at the city of Fresno's parks page.
What to bring: comfortable shoes (Woodward Park's natural surfaces can be uneven), sun protection (mid-September is still warm in the Central Valley), and -- per the festival's bag policy -- a small bag or clear bag. Re-entry is generally permitted but check the official festival page for the most current rules. Outside food and drink are typically not allowed; the on-site food and beverage village handles all options.
