Another DC arts festival is being inaugurated at the
Yards Park -- this time it's the
DC Music Fest, scheduled for May 7, 2011. With plans to "showcase some of the best artists and bands of the Washington, DC and surrounding areas," the event already has a lineup of 12 bands, three singer/songwriters, and 1 DJ on two stages. Other local artists who want to play at the event can
submit themselves at the web site until February 1, and a panel of judges will choose which acts will be added to the lineup.
According to
On Tap, tickets will be $25.
Back in October, the first
RiverFrontFest debuted on the streets just north of the Yards Park, offering a day of local art and music.
