The MGK Big Bad Bonfire 2024 Was The Biggest, Best, and Hottest Fire Yet
The annual MGK Big Bad Bonfire was back, and it was bigger, better, and hotter than ever!
This past weekend, one of my favorite station events of the year took place, and it may have been the best one yet.
As I mentioned in the introduction, I am, of course, talking about the annual MGK Big Bad Bonfire 2024.
All I can say is, what a bonfire!
This past Saturday night, the annual MGK BIG Bad Bonfire took place at the gorgeous Spring Mountain in Schwenksville, PA.
What makes this event so special is that MGK listeners from all over the Delaware Valley make their way up to Spring Mountain, and we all get to hang together for a bit.
I met so many loyal MGK listeners and even many of their own children, or better yet, grandchildren — it was incredible to meet you all!
This was my fourth year in attendance at the MGK Big Bad Bonfire, and I can easily say this place was the most packed I had seen the event yet.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather for this year’s event as it was a cool 64 degrees when we lit the fire around 7:30 p.m.
For those who haven’t seen it, the fire takes place right at the mid-base of the mountain, and a giant wooden guitar is at the center of it.
Andre Gardener, Paul Kelly, Eric ‘The Big Johnson’ Johnson, Gina Cosenza, and I all got to light the bonfire and get the party started.
It was a sight to see for sure, and you best believe the entire MGK gang was there to take it all in.
And, man, did it get hot fast!
The night was incredible, so I want to send out some thank yous to all involved.
Thanks To All Who Made The MGK Big Bad Bonfire 2024 Possible…
A huge shout out to all of our wonderful sponsors, including Mr. Sticky’s (which you can now find in select Giant markets!), Volpe Enterprises, and Meineke.
Thanks to the MGK house band, Porch, for providing the tunes — I especially enjoyed their version of Sublime’s song “Bad Fish.”
Thank you to Kara Lester, our amazing promotions director here at MGK for executing another great night — she is the best!
Thank you to Rachel Pitts, our digital department manager, for putting together some great content surrounding the event.
I can’t forget a huge shout-out to the great people of Hartland Demolition & Restoration of Harleysville, PA, for building the fire.
Thank you to the Upper Salford Fire Department for keeping us all safe, and I’m sure they’re happy they didn’t have to deal with my flame thrower this year that I lit the fire with back in 2022
Thank you to Greg Monahan for building the 20-foot Motley Crew guitar at the center of the fire.
Last but not least, thank you to Rick Buckman and the entire staff of Spring Mountain for being such great hosts.
It truly was another successful MGK Big Bad Bonfire, and I can’t wait until next year already.
