SantaCruz MusicFestival

In October of 2015, over two thousand patrons, creators, and musicians took to the streets of downtown Santa Cruz, making the third iteration of our event the most successful one yet. While we were pleased with the outcome, we realized that with the lessons we’ve learned and all the dedicated Santa Cruz businesses, bands, and supporters we’ve got on our side-We were now able to build the most diabolical musical extravaganza this side of the San Lorenzo, so we did. This year we’ve upped the ante and have planned a full-blown sonic take over of the historic downtown area, linking together 11+ downtown Santa Cruz venues for a two-day musical marathon. Just like the past three festivals, SCMF has passionately and carefully curated a lineup of internationally known acts as well as hard-hitting local Santa Cruz and Bay Area artists. We’ve got more than 200+ bands, acts, and performers distributed over 15 stages inside the best and brightest downtown venues.
