Common Ground Music Festival

I’m sitting at work, just returning from an awesome long weekend, and Googling “Jobs that Let Me Hang Out Outside All Day” (don’t tell my boss). After a week of sunshine, the fluorescent lights and overflowing inbox are bumming me out. Luckily for me, the 14^th annual Common Ground Music Festival is taking place down the street!

The 2013 Festival started on Monday, July 8 and will run until Sunday, July 14. There’s no better way to ease back into the work grind than hanging out with friends and grabbing a couple of drinks while listening to anyone from Ludacris to The Avett Brothers to Little Big Town. With three different stages and a diverse range of artists, there’s definitely something for everyone.

Tickets are still on sale, and are available on their website. More information can be found on the event’s Facebook page or website.

While I continue my Google search, check out this year’s lineup:
