Whether your idea of a quality Independence Day is running amok with sparklers and M-80s around the Mission, or watching the bigtime show from Bernal Hill — you can do all of these things and still make it over to El Rio for our 8th annual party, Big Time Freedom Fest. Five bands will provide musical entertainment starting at 3:30pm, and Rocky’s Frybread will be served all day. Music ends promptly at 8:30, which is just in time for the darkness to kick in and the skies to light up.

The Freedom Fest lineup for this year includes one of our most talked about bands, Golden Void, along with Wild Eyes, Bob Saggeth (who can be summed up perfectly by the video below), Couches and Upside Drown.

Attendees of Freedom Fest will be eligible to win a pair of tickets to the upcoming Phono del Sol Music and Food Festival!
