What to Expect

Pearl Fest is a full-day music festival with multiple opportunities to experience music across Pearl. The day will start at 11:00 AM with a free, open-to-the-public stage at Pearl Park during our weekly Farmers Market — live music for everyone, right in the heart of the district.

The evening brings a ticketed lineup on the main stage under the 281 highway, with Los Lonely Boys set to headline. Doors open at 4:00 PM, and the show runs from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
