This is a first-year festival with a lineup deep enough to fill a full afternoon and evening, and it is built around cumbia, psychedelic rock, folk and surf rather than a single headliner. Son Rompe Pera turn marimba into something close to punk, and Combo Chimbita are one of the most physical live bands working in Latin American experimental music. FitzGeralds' patio is an outdoor stage with a bar and a barbecue kitchen on site, which makes an eleven-act day easy to sit through.
What to expect
An outdoor patio stage running from 2 PM with eleven acts listed, food from Babygold Barbecue on the property, and an all-ages crowd. Music spans cumbia, psychedelic rock, folk, surf and experimental sets.
