THE FEST is an independent multiple-day, multiple-venue underground music festival held annually in Gainesville, FL with support from the fine folks from VISIT GAINESVILLE, ALACHUA COUNTY. Established in 2002 with only 60 bands, four stages, and two days, THE FEST has experienced a massive growth rate and now is three days long, 15+ venues and over 350 bands, comedians and professional wrestlers.

Loosey’s will only be open to non-FEST pass holders on our patio with a limited menu. FEST pass holders will have full access to Loosey’s as capacity allows to see all the bands and shows.
