Festivalgoers arrived early to beat the heat and stake out their spots on the lawn, while others made their way between bar stations, food trucks, and the always-popular cornhole tournaments. Line dancing broke out across the grounds throughout the afternoon, with plenty of fringe, boots, and rhinestones adding flair to every spin and shuffle.
As the sun began to set over SilverLakes, the crowd gathered in anticipation for the evening’s big-name acts. With a stacked lineup that included Hailey Whitters, Ian Munsick, and Lee Brice, the energy continued to build leading into the headlining set by Sam Hunt.
Known for chart-toppers like “Body Like a Back Road,” “23,” and “Take Your Time,” Hunt was expected to deliver a high-energy performance to close out the night. Fans filled the open-air space throughout the day, dancing, singing along, and soaking in every moment of the summer celebration.
From longtime country fans to newcomers just looking for a good time, Boots In The Park delivered a full experience—one that celebrated both the artists on stage and the tight-knit community that shows up year after year, boots on and spirits high.
