Just because the local universities have started their fall semester classes doesn’t means that the rest of use (or those students for that matter) should bid adieu to the summer of 2018.
In fact, with day temps still hovering in the high '80s and lows at night in the '70s, let’s keep that outdoor party vibe going a bit longer.
One such event that has filled the last summer festival slot is the
Breakaway Festival produced by our state’s very own MiEntertainment Group and Prime Social Group.
Breakaway Festival, held in Belknap Park on Friday and Saturday, August 24 and 25, will welcome a dynamite line up including Odesza, Khalid, Borgeous, Flatbush Zombies, Flosstradamus, Jaden Smith, Kayzo, NGHTMRE, Rich The Kid Dombresky, Grey, Maxo Kream, Tee Grizzley, and so many more guest artists.
“We started this festival by combining urban living with a carefully curated, multi-genre lineup that festival goers of all ages and music preferences could enjoy. With the success of the festival’s first year, it was a no brainer to return to Grand Rapids for its second year,” Managing Partner Adam Lynn says.
Breakaway Music Festival debuted in 2013 in Columbus, Ohio with names like Kendrick Lamar, Bassnectar, and twentyonepilots. The festival expanded to Grand Rapids in 2017 and was nominated for the first-ever “Grandy’s” Award Show for Outstanding Live Music Event. Since its debut, the festival brand has expanded to include five different markets: Dallas, Columbus, Charlotte, Nashville, and Grand Rapids.
Organizers say the best way to find the festival is to plug in this address for your GPS or ride sharing app: Griffs Icehouse: 30 Coldbrook St NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503.
So with the days of summer counting down, you only have so many outdoor music events left to consider. For those looking to experience one more (or their first) festival this August, then Breakaway Music Festival is your best bet.
