Thank you for making GOTR EPIC!


The Gentlemen of the Road weekend was an amazing success and we would like to thank all of the fans for flocking to Dixon for a wonderful experience with Mumford & Sons and their friends. Thanks to Jam Productions and Jay Goldberg Productions for all their efforts, too!

And a HUGE thanks to all the volunteers and local organizations that helped make the weekend epic. We had more than 700 volunteers donate nearly 3,000 hours of service to the event. We are truly blessed to have such support from our community!

Thanks and let's do it again next year!
