97.5 The Fanatic threw the best party the station has ever seen. The 10th annual celebration took place at Xfinity Live on Saturday, August 26.
Fanatic hosts, staff, and listeners enjoyed the station tradition. Celebrity guests included Nick Foles, Brian Dawkins, Darren Sproles, Scott Hartnell, Keith Jones, Lou Williams, and Paul Reed. Fall Out Boy and Rae Sremmurd played on the FanDuel stage on Saturday afternoon.
The Fans
All of those amazing draws led fans to contribute largely to making this the best Fan Fest yet. After all, it was the fans' support and enthusiasm that added the extra zest to the day.
Whether it was leading MVP chants for Nick Foles, cheering on the sumo wrestling competition, or rocking out to Fall Out Boy, the fans were really the stars of the day.
The loud chants of E-A-G-L-E-S swept through the parking lots the entire day. The crowds of fans also quickly flooded Xfinity Live on the sunny afternoon. It was truly a day for the books. Thanks, fans, for making our 10th Fan Fest a smashing success!

E-A-G-L-E-S
