About this event
Gainesville's FEST packs independent bands, comedians, and wrestlers into a three-day run, with a standing aim of putting new and upcoming acts in front of a crowd after sorting thousands of applications. An early kickoff show plays Bo Diddley Plaza before the main rooms open.
Our take: Start with the Bo Diddley Plaza kickoff if you want a night before the main rooms fill up.
