The fest is free to attend and there are also free after parties inside The Loving Touch each night.


Saturday, July 20th - PJ's 'We Ain't Dead Yet' Rock 'N' Roll BBQ Bash: A couple of weeks ago, news broke that PJ was putting the Lager House up for sale. Well, although he's waiting for the right offer to come around, PJ's Lager House isn't gone yet and they want you to know it! This Saturday, head out to check out music from Ryan Dillaha and The Miracle Men, All-Seeing Eyes (Cincinnati, OH), Deal Breakers, John Salvage, Jennifer Westwood And The Handsome Devils, The Codgers and Babe Miller. There will be great food served up too! Doors will open at 7 p.m. and cover is $15.

Saturday, July 20th - Haute to Death @ Marble Bar: Dance the night away and cool off with Haute to Death at Marble Bar this Saturday night! Haute Tension from Miami will also be playing a live set at this show. Plus, there will be "truck pools and other water features", which sounds like a good time to us! Cover is only $5, 21+ are welcome, and the party starts at 6 p.m.

Sunday, July 21st - Sad Summer Fest @ The Crofoot Festival Grounds: Not everyone is happy about summer, and that's why The Crofoot is hosting Sad Summer Fest. We're not really sure if that's the idea behind it, but it sounded good. The fest will feature music from STATE CHAMPS, Mayday Parade, The Maine, The Wonder Years, Every Avenue, Mom Jeans., Just Friends, Stand Atlantic, and more. Emo Nite will be on site doing DJ sets too! Cry your eyes out and sing along to your favorite bands all day and into the night. Doors open at noon and tickets are $45 the day of the show.
