By Andrew Nogay MR Fest Press Team 2016 was another great year for MR Fest, which covered numerous venues and various genres throughout the two days. There was everything from garage rock to rap to comedy, and memories to last at least a couple days. The Marc was where the two headliners, Night Beats and La Luz, played the last sets of MR Fest. Though the two bands hail from […]
By Sarah Stephens MR Fest Press Team Stonewall Warehouse is easily one of the most exciting bars along The Square. It shifts to life with spinning twin glittering disco balls housed atop the stage, boasts framed enlarged images of Ellen Degeneres and beloved Rocket Man Elton John and rotates an electric mix of music from its oversized speakers. This mix of music fills the entire nightclub and has you twirling […]
By Natalia Glenn MR Fest Press Team At the stroke of 5:00 pm, Valentino’s resonated with the mesmerizing scent of freshly baked bacon cheese pizza. It’s disturbingly hot.

Imagine your favorite garage rock band collaborated with lead singer Juan “Witch Doctor” Magña’s hypnotizing vocals. Yes, perfection (and spunk) is exactly what you get. All […]
By Shannon Davies MR Fest Press Team Comedy at Vodka Street during MR Fest. I wasn’t really sure what to expect out of this. This is my first year at MR Fest and first time listening to a line-up of just comedians. I saw comedians of all shapes and sizes, literally. They all brought different jokes from their very strange and funny lives. The laughs started at 5:30 p.m. and […]
By Ryan Lacerda MR Fest Press Team At already-too-hot-1-o'clock, The Hecklers kicked off the lineup scheduled for one of our MR Fest venues, The Hitch, and their feel-good folky rock 'n' roll tunes turned up the energy and set the right atmosphere for chilling out and relaxing. It was just right for the people eating delicious food-trailers such as Greek food from St. Pita or Colombian food from El Sabor […]
