EverFest Announces Full Lineup for Annual Music Festival Honoring Josiah Eversole & Supporting the Fight Against Addiction

EverFest has announced the full artist lineup for this year’s memorial music festival returning to Dellroy, Ohio on Saturday, July 20th, 2024. The grassroots, community-driven event will once again take place at Josiah’s Field (853 Hartwood Rd., Dellroy, OH 44620), with music beginning at 5:00 PM and continuing into the night.

This year’s festival will be headlined by Cleveland alt-rock band Empty Kodiak, supported by a diverse slate of regional acts including DamNagedKids, Ichinen Sanzen, FR3DO, Cory Hilton, Dan Blackwell, Anthony Rice, Jonathan Smart, and Mr. Wrong. In addition to the featured performances, EverFest will host a 20-minute open mic slot during the food intermission and again after the closing act — giving aspiring local musicians a chance to take the stage.

EverFest is more than live music — it is a tribute to the memory of Josiah Eversole and a passionate call to action in the fight against addiction. The event offers free admission, family-friendly activities, food, games, and a raffle benefiting Ohio Can Stark County, an organization supporting individuals and families impacted by addiction.

“EverFest is about celebrating life, community, and the belief that no one should face addiction alone,” said event organizers. “Every voice, every song, every shared moment helps strengthen that message.”

Key Details:

  • Live Music • Food • Games • Friends • Family

  • No Cover Charge — voluntary donations encouraged

  • Raffle with EverFest apparel & additional prizes

  • BYOB (21+) — no illicit substances permitted

  • If drinking, guests are encouraged to bring a tent and camp or have a designated driver

All donations collected on-site will go directly toward helping those battling addiction in Stark County. Supporters may also donate online via www.ohiocanchangeaddictionnow.org.

EverFest invites the community to take part in an evening that celebrates music, honors loved ones lost, and champions recovery — “This event is about saving lives, not losing them!”
