Festival of Friends Events hosts events in various cities across the U.S. Whether you’re looking for performance experiences in your hometown or have plans to travel to a new city, Festival of Friends Events offers a simple way for everyday musicians to plug into local recreational musician scenes while offering music fans access to homegrown community and live entertainment.
Our curated events are less about performer vs audience and more about everyone in the room having a shared musical experience and the result is a party that's always entertaining. And as serious as we are about what we do, it's really just about having a ruinous amount of fun and making a lot of new friends.
Performance Event Formats

Bandmixers events feature "curated" cover bands. Curated bands are made up from musicians within the Festival of Friends Events community and together bands perform 5-song mini-sets of material based on a specific theme. Some restrictions apply.
