Center Street Daze Festival—which began way back in 1997 and is organized by the Riverwest Business Association—will make its triumphant return to Center Street (between Holton and Humboldt) on Saturday, August 17. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Riverwest thoroughfare will be abuzz with activity in the form of food and retail vendors, pushcart races, an outdoor pool tournament, and more.

Of course, there will also be live music. Lots and lots of live music! Throughout Saturday afternoon/evening, Center Street Daze will feature a wide range of talent on four stages. That bursting lineup includes the likes of Billy Dreamer, Passion Park, Majestics, and many more. You can check out the Center Street Daze Festival lineup below.
