East Side Holiday 2023 Festival

Come jam with us and support local bands at the third annual extravaganza

Get your butt there, whether you bring the family or your friends! Taking part in an upcoming local festival is exciting, and not just because it’s a smaller venue, and you will support not only the bands but also the venue. The first stage will be inside, and the second will be outside in the parking lot. A family-friendly venue with plenty of room to see all the shows.

As soon as I heard about East Side Holiday 2023 Festival in its infancy, I knew I had to be a part of it. You are invited to hear some great tunes, pick up some dope merch, rub elbows with the locals, and grab a drink from the bar or three. There will even be festival t-shirts! $20 each. Proceeds will go to all the performers for their time and art. Dance your face off and learn about upcoming shows and see a band you’ve never seen before. Performances wrap-up around 7:45pm. Plenty of time to hang out, catch up after the show and head-out in time to see the other festivals going on in town.
