The Fest
The Fest is an annual music festival in Gainesville, Florida, organized by Tony Weinbender, formerly of No Idea Records. It is a predominantly punk rock and pop-punk festival, though there are also a good number of indie rock, hardcore punk, metal, and ska acts. The Fest first took place May 24 and 25, 2002 and has since attracted a large turnout throughout the years. Bands perform across a variety of venues in the downtown Gainesville area.
The Fest takes place each year on the weekend of the Florida-Georgia football game, held in Jacksonville.
