The Ladybug Music Festival, a highly anticipated annual community event, will take place on Friday, June 2 from 5 PM to 10 PM. 30 talented female-fronted bands, duos, and singer-songwriters will captivate you as they grace the stages across seven venues. The festival will transform the 400 and 500 blocks of Market Street into a musical extravaganza.
The headliner for this year’s festival is Adia Victoria from “A Southern Gothic.” Adia is a two-time American Music Awards nominee and the 2022 Emerging Act of the Year + Album of the Year. Joining her will be Nitro Nitra, a local rocker who gained recognition on NBC’s “American Song Contest.” And that’s not all!
