New Event Promoter for Former Rock/Country USA Grounds

(WBAY) The company in charge of the Rock and Country USA music festivals filed for bankruptcy, ending the longtime events.

Now, a new event promoter is taking over the former Ford Festival Park in Oshkosh.  “A company out of L.A., working with us in Oshkosh, we are excited,” said Amy Albright, Executive Director of the Oshkosh Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Danny Wimmer Presents has taken over the 200-acre piece of land, renaming it “Ford Park Live” with plans of bringing new life to the venue.  “We look forward to putting down roots there and hopefully being there for a long, long time and being an incredible long-term live event destination for the community,” said DWP’s President of Live Entertainment Joe Litvag.

He says they know the legacy the former festival had and that some fans were disappointed with the way it came to an end, which left many struggling to get refunds on their tickets. But they believe DWP’s way of running live events will work well in the Oshkosh venue.
