This free event welcomes performers, writers and music enthusiasts of all ages to the Glendale Main Library to collaborate and perform. Over 100 live music performances will occur throughout the day across three stages.

Workshops and lectures by industry experts, including Robin Frederick, Tracey & Vance Marino, Pat Pattison, and Shelly Peiken, will cover practical topics such as song critiques, sync and metadata, the Music Licensing Collective, TV and film placement, prosody, digital audio workstation recording and building a successful independent music career. Participants can also participate in a songwriting challenge hosted by local songwriter Sandy Hathaway.

Food trucks will be on-site for attendees to purchase food and beverages.
