Break Free Fest III
Break Free Fest is a 2 day punk and hardcore fest featuring bands driven by people of color!
Celebrating each other is important, and this fest is for us by us! Operating as a fundraiser, all proceeds are donated after bands get paid.
2020 will be our 4th year, and we’re excited to be back at at the Rotunda in Philadelphia on May 30th for a full day of shows, this year we’ll also be trying something new by having a BBQ Grey’s Ferry Park on May 31st for a BBQ with a few bands!

OUR GOALS:
To highlight and center the joy we create as poc together
To introduce and give space to “unconventional” musicians and artists
To help you feel like you're home
To pay bands for their time and art
To donate money to organizations that center marginalized folxs
To keep this thing going without impacting the personal finances of the organizers

Help us get to $1000 by the weekend!! Keep the momentum going!! . . "This was SUCH a positive and straight up healing space. I got to play last year, which was a joy, but the best part was being surrounded by rad folx of color, queer folks from every part of the spectrum, womxn and others who are usually pushed to the sidelines. It was so great to dance to Cardi B and do bachata y salsa in between hardcore punk sets <3" -Tanya P - www.Saraswathijones.com
