The tenth annual Maha Music Festival will take place Friday, August 17 from 5 PM to midnight and Saturday, August 18 from noon to midnight at Stinson Park in Aksarben Village. The event features 16 live musical acts performing on two stages. Maha is excited to welcome American rock band Weezer as this year’s headliner.

Local acts State Disco, Clarence Tilton, Mesonjixx, David Nance Band, and The Dilla Kids round out the lineup.
