Berlin To Host First Country Music Festival Next Weekend

BERLIN – Berlin’s first country music festival is coming to Main Street next weekend.

The “Berlin Small Town ThrowDown,” sponsored by Fager’s Island and The Atlantic Hotel, is bringing a touch of country flair to the streets next Saturday.

Event organizer John Fager said he and his wife, Michelle, were inspired to bring country music to Berlin after visiting Nashville last year.

“We thought ‘Nashville Comes to Main Street’ would be so much fun,” he said. “It just grew from there.”

Since January, Fager has worked with Ivy Wells, Berlin’s economic development director, to create the “Berlin Small Town ThrowDown.”
