SUMMARY:Someday Fest
DESCRIPTION:Someday Fest returns for a two-day stint at Sanborn Court. The celebration stretches inside and outside Warehouse XI\, lending the affair a block-party-type atmosphere. Expect a healthy dose of indie music. When a pair of local fest staples (Rock N Roll Rumble\, Nice Fest) bowed out in 2025\, there was an opportunity for fresh ideas to fill the void. Someday Fest\, an offshoot of the possibly defunct online publication Some\, threw its hat into the ring with its inaugural event last year and a slew of cultural happenings since. Go have Some fun. Free.
