Downtown Mesa holds weekend of music
For the seventh year, the area will be welcoming the Mesa Music Festival, touted as the state's first and foremost emerging artist festival.
Young artists from all over Arizona and other states will be presenting more than 200 performances, and attending workshops and lectures covering topics such as recording, writing, booking, performing, marketing, and entertainment law. Industry professionals will be available for one-to-one mentoring sessions.
Music groups coming to the event will range from Arizona's 3iDragon, All the Better, and Angelfood to ZeeCeeKeely and Znore.
A vendor village to be held on Saturday, April 20 from noon to 10:00 pm will include art activations, food, and beverages. Vendors at festivals such as this often put a business logo design on their paper products.
Some festival venues in Mesa's downtown area will be 12 West Brewing, Alchemy 48, Chupacabra Taproom, Que Chevre, The Salted Knot, Phantom Fox Beer Co., Organic Bean Café, Jarrod's Coffee, Tea & Gallery Indoor, Oro Brewing, and the Nile Theater & Coffee Shop.
