The 8th Annual St. Johns No Fest will take place this Saturday, September 12th, featuring over 80 performances and 8 hours of music.

The lineup is prolific; a scrolling list of names that is dizzying to process. It would be cheapening to pick through the genre-spanning legion of acts performing at No Fest and mention only a few. So instead of reducing dozens of independent artists, who have no doubt made tremendous sacrifices for their art, down to a handful of recognizable names, follow this link for a complete list of No Fest 2015.

No Fest spans more than half a dozen venues and is scheduled to kick off at noon on Saturday at Historic St. Johns Town Square. It is a free music and arts festival evolving into its 8th year.

In addition to Music, the festival will feature art installations and a "micro-film fest showcase." Some of the venues included in the festival include Bekkens, Signal Station, Plews Brews, Slims, James John Cafe and more.
