SPIRIT's 8th Annual Summer Recess FestivalSummer Recess is our biggest and wildest party of the year. It’s an all-day all-night anything goes food & music festival starting outside at 2pm and moving inside at 9pm
Daytime festival goers can eat shop and mingle with a thoughtfully curated group of some of our favorite local vendors plus interact with and support countless artists within the community. Nighttime sees the festivities shift indoors to two levels of live performances with food available from Spirit’s late-night pizza kitchen and full bars on both floors.
The outdoor portion of the festival is open to people of all ages and will run from 2pm until 9pm. Admission is free until 3pm and kids under 10 get in free. The 21+ night portion runs from 9pm until 2am.
