Forward Music Festival Schedule


I had a really great time last year at the inaugural Forward Music Festival. I spent my time bumping on foot between the downtown venues on Friday night and saw lots of bands that I had not heard before. And that’s what is so sweet about music fests. One ticket provides access to lots of music. You can’t really go wrong.

In this case, it’s a low cost ticket at that – single day passes are only $15 for Thursday, $25 for Friday/Saturday, or $45 for all three days! Such a deal. Buy advance tickets here.
