THIRD ANNUAL VILLAGE MUSIC WALK A SUCCESS!
Saturday, June 20, 2015 4-10pm
Carlsbad Music Festival kicked of the summer with its free Village Music Walk, featuring 30 groups and performing over 60 sets during a 6 hour celebration of adventurous music. The all-ages, free of charge, community event featured a wide array of music performed in outdoor and indoor spaces throughout the historic Village of Carlsbad. The unique performance venues ranged from public parks and art galleries, to local music stores and even a 19th century chapel.
This year, the Walk drew a record breaking 4500 community members and cultural tourists!
the Village Music Walk ran from 4-10pm with 20-minute sets starting every half hour. With multiple performance options to choose from at any time, attendees of the Village Walk created their own concert journey through the Village.
