Formerly known as Buoyancy, WaveFest is an annual Music & Art Festival kicking off summer and celebrating our local teen artists. While WaveFest is a block party held every year on the first day of summer in the Mitchell Park Bowl featuring food, friends, and festivities, it is also a great way for local teens to share their craft with their peers.
