Music will once again take the center stage in Bradley as the third Bradley 315 Fest returns.

The third festival will once again feature three evenings of music under the stars on the grounds of the village-owned Northfield Square mall in the heart of Bradley.

The four-day festival promises to offer talent to satisfy nearly every musical taste. This year’s event once again features nationally-recognized performers alongside local talents.

Gates open at 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Fest tickets may be purchased online through Wednesday (June 3). Tickets will also be available at the festival each day of the event.

“This is one of the avenues to continue our mission of taking tourism to the next level,” said Bradley Mayor Mike Watson. The 315 Fest is going to be a truly spectacular event showcasing our hotels, local venues and national entertainment located right off of I-57 and less thatn 50 miles from Chicago."

Bradley-based manufacturer Peddinghaus Corp. is once again the title sponsor for this year’s show. Peddinghaus has been the title sponsor in each of the three years for the music festival.

This year’s music fest will not feature carnival rides nor a Sunday afternoon talent show.

The 2025 show lost about $289,000 as rainy Friday and Saturday night weather dampened attendance even though musical acts such as Alabama, Flo Rida, and Daughtry took to the main stage.
