The Huntington Music & Arts Festival was born out of the need to expose our community to the revitalized music and arts scene here in our city and state. The family-friendly festival has grown by adding more bands and vendors. The all-day event is now a part of the community. The festival’s promotion sign is a regular in the windows of many downtown Huntington shops. 12 bands will take the stage at the Ritter Park Amphitheater on Saturday along with 10 acoustic sets featuring many local artists. Gates open at 11:30 a.m.. Tickets are $20 for adults. Kids 12 and under get in for free. Saturday’s event will also include 21 art vendors and free events for kids.
On Friday, September 26, the festival kicks off with a free pre-party event at Heritage Station at 7:00 p.m.. The Carpenter Ants, The 1937 Flood, David and Valerie Mayfield and Nashville via Huntington act Coyotes and Boxes are set to perform.
