“I am devoted to Lowell and love the idea of adding a significant event that heightens Lowell’s reputation as a major arts and music community in the vibrant New England landscape,” said festival promoter, Chris Porter, a Lowell native. “Bringing a unique and diverse festival event to a region that has a relatively limited number of festivals is a true labor of love for me. To have this event stand alongside the Lowell Folk Festival, the Lowell Summer Music Series at Boarding House Park, and other great area events will be an honor.”

Venues across downtown Lowell will be hosting the festival including The Luna Theater, Coffee and Cotton, Christ Church United, Uncharted Gallery, Gallery Z, and the Parker Gallery at the Whistler House Museum of Art which will host all ages performances. Other participating venues will be Zorba Music Hall, Warp & Weft, and The Old Court which will host 21+ shows.
