We thought it would be fun to put together a list of all the big festivals in a 300 mile radius of our Lowell Headquarters from May 1st to August 31st this summer. Then we decided it would be MORE fun to make it a scorecard… and KA-POW! The official 2014 Summer Festivals Scorecard was born.
You won’t find all these festivals on MusicIDB.com … yet, but since we’re in love with live original music, it only makes sense that we should hold festivals very close to our heart.
Here’s the full list for easier reading for anyone just looking for a Summer Festival Guide
