Same fun, new name for Milton-Freewater festival
East Oregonian
Out with the old and in
with the new: Milton-Free-
water is re-naming its
summer family festival.
Formerly the Muddy
Frogwater Country Classic
Festival, the event is ready
to rock its new name —
Milton-Freewater Rocks!
For the past 35 years, the
festival has been referred
to as Muddy Frogwater, a
name some local teenagers
had been calling the town in
good-natured fun since the
early 1970s. The town previ-
ously had a Pea Festival, held
in May during the 1960s.
Later it had a summer Corn
Roast, which was re-titled
when it was expanded to
the weekend-long Muddy
Frogwater Festival.
As for the new name —
Milton-Freewater
Rocks!
— organizers determined it

Frogwater Country Classic Festival in Milton-

was time for a change. The
Milton-Freewater Chamber
of Commerce said the new
name primarily celebrates
three things about the town
— “The Rocks District
of Milton-Freewater,” the
American Viticultural Area
designation in the wine
industry
regarding
the
unique wine-grape growing
conditions; the free live
rock and country music
that plays on the main stage
throughout the event-packed
weekend; and the local folks
of Milton-Freewater that will
totally “Rock. Your. World!”

of the details of the popular
festival are the same. It’s still
held on the third weekend in
August at Yantis Park. People

Northwest come together
to enjoy the pleasant, rural
setting Milton-Freewater has
to offer. Admission is free and
the whole family is taken into
consideration when planning
the festival, which features a
Kid Zone, an art show and
everything in between. There
are fun activities, events,
contests, games and food for
everyone.
