If you’re a fan of local music, then get ready to get your fill this weekend at the annual Independents’ Day celebration. This year marks the first time the event will be held in Franklinton, though the format will be familiar for those who enjoyed the party on Gay Street in the past. Six indoor and outdoor stages will be located throughout the festival grounds to provide musical entertainment, with additional street food, local drinks, craft vendors, shipping containers, mini golf, whiffle ball, art displays, stand-up comedy, fashion shows and more.
If you’re planning to go for the local music, the majority of it is packed on Saturday with plenty of great choices to make, from Angela Perley to Scrawl to Saturday Giant to Happy Chichester. The full lineup for Saturday can be found below, and be sure to check www.thisisindependent.com for more information on all of the other festivities throughout the weekend.
