LORAIN, Ohio -- RoverFest kicks off on Saturday at Lorain's Black Water Landing with a day of live music, fireworks and comedy hosted by shock-jock radio host Rover (aka Shane French).

French has hosted the popular radio show, "Rover's Morning Glory," in Northeast Ohio since 2003. The show often involves comedic stunts and crude humor. "Rover's Morning Glory" is one of the top-rated radio programs in Northeast Ohio.

Like the radio show, Rover's festival grew to be quite popular, too. Currently, RoverFest is the largest event hosted in downtown Lorain, with massive crowds showing up to enjoy the fun.

If you're going to RoverFest on July 21, you'll have to be prepared. Here's what you need to know before you go to RoverFest.

10 year anniversary

RoverFest will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, but it hasn't existed for 10 straight years. The festival skipped a year in 2017.

Originally, RoverFest took place in downtown Cleveland at Voinovich Park and in the Warehouse District, but found its current home at Lorain's Black River Landing in 2014.

Special surprises might be in store for RoverFest's 10th anniversary; tickets feature French in an X pose, symbolizing the festival's milestone.

Know the lineup

This year's musical lineup consists of Shinedown, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Jon, Big Boi, All That Remains, Red Sun Rising and more.

Unfortunately, if you want to know when the acts will take the stage, you'll have to wait until the day of the fest. Specific times will not be announced, in case RoverFest moves set times around last-minute.

Prepare for long lines

RoverFest is a popular event, drawing both local music fans and people from out-of-state. With only a couple of entrances to the fest, the line can get long to get inside the festival. Be ready to wait 30 to 60 minutes to get inside.

MGK is a regular

Machine Gun Kelly is a headliner of RoverFest this year, but he's had a history of showing up for surprise performances. He popped up in 2016 for a performance of "Till I Die" and climbed up the stage scaffolding high above the audience.

Cheap fest

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

RoverFest isn't the most expensive music festival out there. Entry is $49.95.

In 2016, food and drinks weren't badly priced either, for a festival. There were $5 food deals and cheap beer available.

Though prices haven't been announced, it's likely that RoverFest 2018 will follow suit in food and drink pricing.

No re-entry

Don't Edit

There is no re-entry for RoverFest -- once attendees arrive, they can't exit Black River Landing.

The fest runs from 1 p.m. until 11:30 p.m., so be sure to bring everything you'll need for a full day.
