CatStock 5

CatStock 5 marked a new chapter in the festival’s journey, proving that the spirit of CatStock runs deeper than ever. Held at the Oneida American Legion Post 169, this year’s event carried on the tradition of music, community, and compassion — even as One Man. The Band took a break and founder Logan Chesebro stepped away to focus on a new adventure: fatherhood.

The festival expanded once again, featuring local vendors, delicious food trucks, and—for the first time—a classic car show, making it a full day of fun for the whole community.

The main stage came alive with performances by Hotty and The Grinch Band, Common Roads, Not Robots, The Brothers Grim Band, Before August, and Pleasin Iris, delivering an unforgettable day of live music and positive energy.

For the first time, CatStock also featured a dedicated acoustic stage, showcasing incredible local talent including Brooklyn Skellham, The Blues Brothers, Rachel Livermore, D-Dubb DeLong, Rocky Feola, and Tony Mucitelli.

As always, all proceeds from the event went directly to local cat shelters and community committees throughout Oneida, continuing the mission to help cats in need through rescue, care, and Trap-Neuter-Release programs.

Even with new faces and a changing lineup, CatStock 5 proved that the heart of the festival remains the same — a celebration of music, community, and compassion that always finds a way to carry on. 🎶🐾
