BY TONI RUBERTO Sept. 19-26, 2024 The Music is Art festival returns with 19 stages of musical performances, plus artists, athletics and interactive activities for all ages. It is Sept.
21 at the Outer Harbor. Here is a look at some of the activities, events and concerts taking place this week. Music is Art.
11 a.m. to 11 p.
m. Saturday, Sept. 21 at Terminal B, Lakeside Lawn and the Outer Harbor.
Robby Takac's 22nd annual festival is a free community celebration of music, arts, dance, sports and so much more. The move this year to the Outer Harbor along Fuhrmann Boulevard seems perfect and much needed to hold everything this large, interactive event offers. Not only will there be performances at the new Terminal B stage, music and other activities will be spaced throughout the sprawling Lakeside Lawn and the Outer Harbor green space.
With more than 150 bands/musical arts and 100 DJs, it’s impossible to list all of the performances. Let’s put it this way: There are 19 stages with an eclectic array of talent with some focusing on specific musical styles including a Blues/Americana stage, Dance/Beats stage, three spots dedicated to buskers, and others for DJ Classics, hip-hop, a skate park stage and a kids/bike park stage. Festival Encanto Hispano.

21 in Kleinhans Music Hall. The BPO hosts this free event, along with the Hispanic Heritage Council, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Entertainment starts at 12:30 p.
