Memorial Weekend is almost upon us and the entire country is buzzing with music festivals. Everything from Lightening in a Bottle on the West Coast, Detroit Movement Festival in the Midwest and Elements Music & Arts Festival on the East Coast. The choices are abundant and we have decided to head on over to Lakewood, PA for a fun-filled weekend emphasized with glitter, costumes and music flavors that can satiate any appetite.
Magnetic Mag has put together two playlists to showcase some of the talent and flavor to experience this weekend and we asked each contributing artist to let us know what they are excited about for the weekend!
