This year marks the third annual installment of Boomslang, a multi-venue festival in celebration of independent music, art and media. Presented by WRFL, the festival will feature music, film, fashion and literary events across a 10-day span, with the music portion of the event culminating over the weekend of Sept. 23 – 25. The weekend’s festivities will also include free community “SkillShare” workshops and the inaugural “Queerslang,” a separate event under the Boomslang banner geared toward celebrating the local LGBT arts community.
Weekend passes guarantee entry to all Boomslang events ($50/$40 UK students). Many events are free or ticketed separately as well. Tickets and more information available at the festival’s website.
