Music lovers of all sorts can unite once again at the 8th annual New Direction Fest, March 29-31 at The Aquarium above Dempsey’s.
The fest started back in 2011 at the former venue, The New Direction, and has grown massively over the years to become a destination event for local bands, world-wide touring bands and everything in between. New Direction Fest long lives after the closure of The New Direction DIY music venue back in 2016, and we know there are no plans of that musical camaraderie slowing down year after year. The fest has proved to be less about a building, but more about the family and a home within the music scene that particular building created.
This year’s extraordinary lineup is sure to offer an enjoyable weekend of live music of all sorts, so check out the lineup and grab your day passes!
