The Magical Wonderland of Music

Made in America. This festival might hit close to home for some of you, literally. The festival is hosted every year at Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is held on Labor Day weekend which is the first weekend of September. It is fairly new with its first debut in 2012 which is probably why the festival is only two days. But it has quickly grown into one of the bigger, more well-known, festivals on the east coast attracting over 130,000 people. According to  Made in America , in 2014 the same festival was held simultaneously at Grand Park in Los Angeles, California.

A majority of the attendees arrive in their cars, park them, then venture off into the forest to find their home base for the weekend. For those who aren't about the nature life, can stay in hotels which are about 8 miles away from the festival grounds. Camping is a ...

Broccoli City. This festival is a little different from most, it is only one day with very few artists. It happens every year at the end of April, and for this upcoming year it will be on the 28th. The festival is hosted in RFK Festival Grounds in Washington D.C. The artists don't perform in the stadium but rather around it. It is almost like one big musical tailgate with two stages that are within close proximity to one another. From Zumic There is a lot more meaning to the phrase, Broccoli City, than just a music festival. It is originally an organization that hosts different events that include a festival. The general goal of  Broccoli City is to educate the next generations in "higher standard of sustainable living, environmental education, economic opportunity, and access to high quality food and shelter." They want to make bettering the environment and living practically something millennials and future generations find 'cool' to participate in and p...
