The annual Locust Street Festival of Music & Art is one of the city’s best street fests, celebrating all that is good, right, and drum circle-y in Riverwest. On Sunday, June 11, the 41st installment of the neighborhood fest will kick off at 11:30 a.m. with the ever-popular 1.8-mile Beer Run (or walk), followed by eight hours of food, drinks, crafts, and stellar people-watching.
As great as all that is, live music is always the main attraction for Locust Street Festival. This year is no different, with an eclectic mix of more than 35 artists performing on seven stages. It looks like June 11 is going to be a great day in Riverwest. Here’s this year’s musical lineup:
