Save the Dates: Friday Fest Returns to the Van Wezel

Arts & Culture

Friday Fest, the free, outdoor summertime concert series at The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall returns this year with an exciting lineup of bands who will bring the audience to their feet! The events run from 5-9 p.m. and are located on the lawn of the Van Wezel. Opening the Friday Fest series on June 17 is Yesterdayze. The fun continues with Kettle of Fish on July 15. Enjoy the beats of Latin, R&B and island dance music when Big Night Out takes the stage on August 12. Closing out the concert series on September 16 will be reggae band Jah Movement.

Bring blankets or lawn chairs, take in the music and the sunset, and enjoy food and beverage from local vendors. Friday Fest takes place in “rain or shine”. In the event of inclement weather, the festival will move indoors to our grand foyer or main stage of the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. Bringing in food, beverages and coolers from outside Friday Fest is prohibited.
