The Town and The City Festival will be presenting a special online program for 2020, bringing more than a dozen acts together for the third year of the festival. The eclectic lineup will feature many past festival participants as well as new artists performing Americana, Folk, Rock, Blues, Poetry and Indie music.
“Under the circumstances of the pandemic, we are not able to bring the festival back to downtown Lowell this year. However we still want to provide a way to showcase some great artists and draw attention to our annual event as well as the Lowell community,” said Chris Porter, President and CEO of Porter Productions. “This is going to be a great night of music with an all star lineup from across New England and beyond. We look forward to returning in person in 2021.”
