But the fun doesn't stop there! The Weekend of March 31st to April 2nd is when the streets come alive with music at our three-day multi-venue music festival. Featuring a wide range of live performances and workshops at indoor locations throughout the downtown core, there's something for everyone to enjoy. And with fan favorites like Al Simmons and Corwin Fox taking the stage, you won't want to miss it. Each talent will be performing twice over the course of the weekend, so you'll have plenty of chances to see all your favorites.

This is an event you won't want to miss. Described by participating artists as a 'spring break camp for creatives,' Ignite the Arts offers a wide range of community programming, including free events and educational programs.
