Music will fill the air in Melissa on Saturday, September 13, as the City presents the third annual Melissa Road Tribute Fest.

The free event takes place on the stretch of Melissa Road between Central St. and Miller Rd., just east of Hwy 5 and under the watchful eye of the City’s iconic water tower. City Manager Jason Little shared his thoughts on the upcoming event: "This marks our third annual Melissa Road Tribute Festival, and it's a special occasion for our community. We're proud to have made this an annual tradition that our residents look forward to each year."

He added, "It's called the Melissa Road Tribute Fest for a reason—our lineup of tribute bands is top-notch and promises to deliver a fun, memorable experience for everyone."

Tribute bands are a category of entertainers that honor and pay tribute to admired, successful, and venerated musical acts by playing their music and mimicking their style and stage presence. For the 2025 Melissa Road Tribute Fest, three well-known tribute bands will provide the entertainment.

During the Melissa Road Tribute Fest, food truck operators will offer food for purchase. New this year, Wacky Chad will provide fun and exciting entertainment for children. The festival will also feature a variety of merchandise vendors. 

City Manager Jason Little praised the staff's dedication and hard work in organizing the upcoming music festival. "Our team has put in countless hours to ensure this event is a success," said Little. "Their commitment and passion are what make this festival possible, and we are grateful for their unwavering effort. This event is a testament to their hard work, and we look forward to seeing the community come together and enjoy the fruits of their labor.  Our goal is to create an exceptional experience for everyone, learn from each festival, and continually improve to make each year better than the last.”

The Melissa Road Tribute Fest marks the start of community gatherings planned by the City of Melissa. A free shuttle service will be provided to the event from various off-site parking lots.
