The Avenue Guide to Summer Music Festivals

Music festivals have basically become a staple for summertime adventures. Although we still have about five weeks until the semester ends, festival veterans know tickets are already selling out, and preparation for what’s to come starts way in advance. Keep in mind you might need a hotel, it’s going to be really, really hot, and you’ll probably forget to pack something when you put it off right before leaving. Whether you’re traveling far to attend one or just sticking to Florida-based festivals, this guide will help you know what to expect. 


Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor on “Game of Thrones,” will perform a live DJ set at Simon’s Night Club downtown tonight at 10 p.m.
