First of all, you have to decide the number of people involved (number of bands involved, spectators showing up, security-if needed).
Second, outside of city limits suggests out in the country. Therefore, I would try a farm of a considerable size. Does it have the electrical means to support an activity such as yours? Does it have enough room? Will there be a stage area and will you have to build one?
Third, you have to consider parking arrangements. Since, everything is your question indicates local bands, ask local bands if they might help out in this situation, or they may already have a place picked for this situation. I know that I would jump at the chance to get involved in a venture like this. E-mail me for more usggestions.
Location? Find a restaurant or pub or park or business that will let you use some of their space for FREE (to bring business to their location)
Promotion? Find local businesses to sponsor the event (no money out of your pocket) the more sponsors you can get the better the festival can be.
