ENTERTAINMENT
Music begins at 6:30pm! This year we have an incredible lineup of local music, so be ready to move! Follow the acts on social and support them however you're able to;
kweelag - a lovely trio from Chicago; Kweelag takes notes from their previous projects and creates catchy and profoundly crashing sounds with them. Upbeat energy, catchy riffs, relatable lyrics and themes….you’re in for a swell time.

familiar - a “super group” of sorts lead by Roland, accompanied by members of Dingus., Mangata and Eylia to create a somber and ethereal emo sound you’ve never experienced before.

Mangata - “Mangata is the future” is exactly the words that best describe this band. A cutting edge group of kids who pour themselves into their music…and you’ll hear it in every beat. They take what our emo ancestors cultivated and package it up in a new and refreshing way. Keep an eye on these kids, they’re gonna be huge one day I promise you.
