Power & Progress Festival moves to Falconwood Park in Columbus

The Power & Progress Festival, which has been in Columbus for 12 years, is moving to Bellevue’s Falconwood Park this summer. The festival offers an eclectic mix of musical genres, with the goal of “creating an environment of peace and unity,” according to a news release. The event will be Aug.

7 to 10 at the park, 905 Allied Road. So far, the lineup includes the Midland Band, Front Porch, Jon Wayne and the Pain, Improvement Movement, Mungion, Feed the Dog, DJ Williams Band, Funk Trek, MoonShroom, Midwest Dead Coalition and Unbroken Chain. More will be announced later.



The Midland Band and Craig Mustard of Temperature Zero productions started P&P in 2012. Brad Zywiec joined the festival as its artist and vending coordinator in 2013 and helped it grow from a single-day camping event to a three-day festival with multiple stages and artists, vendors, workshops and more.

.. In 2023, it branched out from offering local and regional artists to national acts such as TAUK and Mr.

Bill. “Falconwood Park brings potential, not only due to its location bringing it closer to the Omaha-Lincoln area but because of its infrastructure,” Tom Adelman, one of the festival founders, said in the release. “It has a bigger stage, indoor facilities, restrooms, a full bar, plenty of other amenities and a great staff.

” In Columbus, the festival was at Camp Pawnee, which was smaller and had fewer facilities. Falconwood Park owner Brandon Miller is thrilled with the move. “It was a no-brainer to welcome the festival to Falconwood,” he said.

“This is what we want the park to be used for. We will miss hosting Outlandia as well as Hippie Fest this summer (so) it made perfect sense to slide Power & Progress into that weekend.” Festival organizers said they may have other events at Camp Pawnee in the future.

Tickets for the festival are $100 and are available at eventbrite.com .
