Hundreds attend Mountain Home Music Festival

A number of local bands and musical artists performed during Saturday's all-day event.

Musicians from across southern Idaho gathered in Mountain Home to showcase their talents during a day-long show on Saturday.

Held at Optimist Park, the first-ever Mountain Home Music Festival featured 13 performers and groups showcasing a wide variety of musical styles.

Solid crowds of approximately 500 people attended the festival's inaugural event, which festival spokesperson Mark Bryant considered a tremendous success. Attendance was fairly light earlier in the day with most concert goers packing into the park as the show's most-anticipated acts took the stage later in the afternoon.
