BiMA.fest

BiMA.fest Baltimore Independent Music & Arts FestivalAug 25th-28th, 2011 http://bimafest.com For its 2nd year BiMA.fest will take place from August 25th-28th, 2011.

Much of the format and some of the venues will be the same. We hope to have about the same number of artists performing again this year. So far there are a lot of great performers already confirmed. We’ve added some new features to the site this time so that you can conveniently listen to the confirmed acts as you read about them. Venues confirmed so far include The Ottobar, The Windup Space, The

Hexagon, & The Sidebar. This year festival passes will again be available through our friends at Missiontix, and once again we’ll be offering both one day and three day passes. Tickets to the individual shows will also be available online.

Birds of Avalon and Free Electric State will be at BiMA.fest this year. Check out indyweek.com's take on their styles.
