"Waterfest" - Oshkosh, Wisconsin - REO Speedwagon






"Waterfest" is a celebration of the quality of life enjoyed in the Fox Valley Area and the name was chosen to draw attention to our most valuable, unique and recognizable resource, our waterways.  The "Leach Ampitheater", where this event is held, is located at the mouth of the historic Fox River in downtown Oshkosh, and is home to the weekly "Waterfest Concerts" held each Thursday evening Memorial Day through Labor Day on the shores of the historic Fox River in Downtown Oshkosh. The City of Oshkosh is nestled between and on Lakes Butte des Morts and Winnebago. The recreational assets of these bodies of water provide great value and sense of pride to area residents, businesses and visitors. Opened in May 2005, the Leach Amphitheater can accommodate up to 7,500 visitors. And on August 30th, was host to 4 bands including REO Speedwagon.  Formed in 1967, the band cultivated a following during the 1970s and over the course of its career, the band has sold more than 40 million records and has charted thirteen Top 40 Hits, including the number ones "Keep On Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling".  ( Go to www.waterfest.org for more information.)
