During the past twenty years, Summer Motion has presented on the Ashland boat ramp some of the best country, rock, and Motown groups in the world at no cost to attendees, and in an alcohol free environment.

Family fun for everyone

The Mayberry Deputy

Celebrating our 20th year, Summer Motion has grown to become the Tri to State's premier family fun festival. More than one million visitors have enjoyed our superstar concerts, which have featured Wynonna, The Doobie Brothers, The Beach Boys, Martina McBride, Billy Ray Cyrus, Sawyer Brown, SheDaisy, The Guess Who, The Bellamy Brothers, The Oak Ridge Boys, Kool and the Gang, Phil Vassar, Merle Haggard, Herman's Hermits, Aaron Yippin, Grand Funk Railroad, Trace Adkins, Hohn Michael Montgomery, Restless Heart and Pam Tillis.

But there's a lot more to Summer Motion than just free concerts. Our Central Park festival features a craft show, a petting zoo, games and carnival rides. The Summer Motion 10K Race is recognized as one of the region's top running events. We also are hosting our fourth annual Soap Box Derby, with the winner advancing to the national championship in Akron, Ohio.
