Here it is. We made it. Fisherman’s Village Music Festival weekend has arrived. Bands from all over the country will be descending on our town to shred, make beats and sing for our enjoyment, but there have been some changes to this year’s festival, including a bigger lineup, a free and all ages Night Market and moving part of the festival to the Everett Station District.
Here’s what you need to know to have maximum fun this Thursday through Saturday.
See you there!
