319 Music & Arts Festival - 2017


Czech Village
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
July 29, 2017


The 319 Festival is one of my absolute favorites.  It shines a tremendous amount of light on the musical talent that surrounds us, and allows the festival-goer to experience the music and genius which flows abundantly from those creators and performers.  With almost 90 acts in this one day long event, checking out every band and artist was just not going to happen.  I did make it to at least 22 different performances, which may be a single one day record for me.
