Every year my city has a festival that runs for a week. The street has over 20 bars/pubs/clubs on it, as well an outdoor stage. Every night there are several bands playing and the entire street gets blocked off from traffic and drinking can occur on the streets until 3am. One ticket admission get access to the music and all the clubs/bars/pubs. The Festival has been running for over 30 years. My birthday occurs right in the middle of this festival, so I've been going to this since 1997. This year Our Lady Peace, Trooper, I Mother Earth, Finger 11, Arkells, and Classified are the main headliners.
I'm seeing Our Lady Peace on July 26 and Arkells on July 30.
