The 2016 Borrego Days Committee announced country pop artist Steven Yabarra as the musical headliner during their April 18 meeting.

Planning is underway with permits, entertainment and food vendors.

Southwest High School is the first marching band so far to confirm their attendance and if last year's event is anything to go by, there will be many more to follow.

To avoid a large electricity bill for lighting, discussions were made regarding the exact hours the festival will take place.

Look out for updates at the next meeting on Monday, May 16, 4 p.m.
