2025 Johnstown Flood City Music Festival - Ron Carnevali

The Johnstown Flood City Music Festival returns to People's Natural Gas Park on Friday July 25th and Saturday July 26th with their most impressive line up to date! WQED-FM's Bryan Sejvar spoke with Festival Co-Chair Ron Carnevali about this years Festival which features Pigeons Playing Ping Pong headlining Friday night and Gov't Mule on Saturday night. Ron talks about the process to get a band as big as Gov't Mule on the bill; some of the other national acts appearing this year; how it's important to feature local acts in their line up; and how they have an Artist-at-Large, Jennifer Hartswick, who won't have a set of her own, but will join several of the bands during their sets. Ron talks about the long history of the Music Festival - it's roots as the Folkfest in Cambria City; and how the Festival benefits Heritage Johnstown, which runs the Heritage Discovery Center, the Flood Museum, and several other Johnstown educational landmarks. It's worth the easy drive from Pittsburgh to see top notch artists in the heart of Johnstown at a very reasonable price, according to Ron, but get your tickets soon - this year is on pace to be a record year in terms of ticket sales.
