Staff Reports | Digital Free Press
The Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale is hosting the inaugural OktoberWest Festival — a signature Kierland After Dark event.
OktoberWest is from 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, atop the “Pittman Lawn” at the resort grounds in Scottsdale. The festival features a western twist on a traditional Oktoberfest gathering, with a modern country western theme. Live music lovers will enjoy hearing an interactive performance from country music artist and Glendale resident Ashley Wineland, according to a press release.
Country-rock group Mogollon Band will also perform at the event. Mogollon is one of the world’s premier country-rock entertainment groups. The band began in 1979 out of the Mogollon Rim country of Heber-Overgaard in Arizona, the release states.
With five recorded albums and songs featured on the Billboard Hot 100 music industry record chart, Mogollon delivers a fun, high energy, interactive performance that audiences of all ages love, promoters of the event contend.
Special guest singer Donny Grubb and fiddle player Patrick Clark (who toured with Big & Rich) will join Mogollon Band, the release states.
Savor the flavors of mouth-watering food from some of the best food trucks in Arizona and refresh with a variety of beverages available from bourbon-tasting and beer gardens. Those new to country dancing can join a lesson or jump into line dances that are sure to be happening throughout the night. Take a whirl on the mechanical bull, show off your skills at corn hole, and be on the lookout for a fun photo booth.
