You Might Be Sleeping at BistroFest 2026

Me and Jason were absolutely amazed by how many of you showed up last year and we've decided to take things to the next level this year.

8 dates, 24 local bands to discover.

Your greatest contribution is to be on this journey with us one way or another and we can't thank you enough already. If you can afford to, any amount helps our ecosystem greatly. All your donations go to the bands performing that evening.

Bring your chair, bring you family, there is food sold at the Bistro!

(We're trying to get some merch for this year to make it extra memorable as it's officially our first year under the name BistroFest!)

This June 6 we're excited to announce that You Might Be Sleeping will be performing with the sunset at BistroFest.

2 amazing locals acts will be playing before them, we're keeping some suspense for now. We will be announcing the 2nd part and Openers in a couple weeks.
