Mark your calendars! The 2016 Mesa Music Festival is headed back to downtown Mesa for a second year on Nov. 10-12. With over 200 musicians from around the globe in attendance, along with a bounty of local businesses and vendors to peruse, there is lots to see and do at this free local festival.

This music festival near Phoenix is the premier emerging artist festival in Arizona, highlighting local, national and international artists alike. For three days, attendees will enjoy nonstop live music of all genres and styles. There will be several indoor and outdoor stages to check out, some situated inside popular Mesa establishments like Desert Eagle Brewing Company and Jarrod’s Coffee, Tea & Gallery. There will also be some big names in the industry attending this year, including the lead singer of Linkin Park and Stone Temple Pilots, Chester Bennington, and Dave Ellefson, bassist of Megadeth.

The Mesa Music Festival is also a great opportunity to celebrate the culture and atmosphere of Downtown. There are several local eateries and watering holes throughout Main Street that will be open for the duration of the event. The festival is also a great opportunity to see and purchase art from talented local vendors who set up shop throughout the block.

Both admission and parking for the festival are completely free. For more information, including a current schedule of events, visit the Mesa Music Festival website.
