By Kelsey Butler The biggest party in the south returns this year for its 6th annual Rock The South on June 2-3. The event has become a favorite for country music fans, and is bringing in big names to Heritage Park in Cullman, 1705 Lee Ave. Southwest. With a heart for giving back, the festival has given more than $400,000 to local charities such as Childhaven, Cullman Parks and Recreation, The Link, Alabama Forever, and many more. In fact, the first- ever Rock The South was intended to be a one-year celebration of recovery from the tornado outbreak on April 27, 2011. Rock 20 the South means to represent southern culture, family, and giving back. Luke Bryan will headline the festival on Friday, June 2, followed by Sam Hunt headlining on Saturday. Calhoun County favorite Riley Green will also take the stage on Saturday. Tickets are going fast. At the time of this writing, platinum, VIP, and ultimate VIP tickets are sold out, along with parking passes and glamping cot and tent rentals. General admission tickets are $99 for two days of music, and Front Porch Seating tickets are available for $650. June 2017 INSIGHT
