The breadth of music at this year's WUMB Music Fest is again as rich as it is diverse. You don't have to be a connoisseur to enjoy the music festival - but it helps to have a love for all different forms of music. They've got three stages and more for you to choose from. View Performance Lineup

This is fun for the whole family, rain or shine. It is all under cover so it really doesn't matter much what the weather brings. Great opportunity for kids to see live music up close in a less than formal setting. Well planned. When you come you become a part of a big extended family. Music all day, what a joy!
