That’s $118 in live music for just $60! (And new bands are still being added to the schedule.) Many of the acts are staggered and different times so you can see multiple shows a night, with Martin’s and Wall Street hosting after-parties for the Friday and Saturday Elmwood shows.

Down by Downtown is an April 11-14 music festival overflowing with energy with more than 20 shows at 12 venues. Performances include a variety of genres that flip from intimate acoustic affairs to pulsing national acts on stage.

“Down by Downtown is an opportunity to explore music venues in Roanoke and maybe discover something new. Downtown will be alive with free and paid musical events,” said Julia Boas, event manager for the Roanoke Outside Foundation. “With a mix of genres — from acoustic sets to block parties to a giant concert in Elmwood Park — there’s something for everybody to have a good time.”
