The other downtown annual music festival that happens at the end of July, Downhome Music Festival has recently released their official schedule for the fest happening on Friday and Saturday, July 28th and 29th. You can find the lineup of bands and set times listed below. Admission for the festival this year is just $6 at the gate to get in both days, and bands will play on two big stages located at 7th and Washington streets downtown. You may notice the Saturday lineup includes heavy hitting Springfield punk bands NIL8 and The Timmys – and we also get a rare opportunity to see bands Looming and Park.
