That is a ton of local music, all of it for free. There will be a trolley to take fest-goers through the loop. Along Girard Avenue from front to 4th St., there will also be vendors, food, and a beer garden. The event is hosted by a non-profit, the Girard Business and Arts Association (GBAA), to draw attention to the development of Girard Avenue. And they clearly have good taste in music, too!
