Now That’s What I Call BAD –
Vol. 2
BAD Day Music + Arts Festival is back with a single-day event that takes over Wilmington’s Brooklyn Arts District (the BAD) for a full day and night of world-class music, immersive art, and vibrant culture.
MUSIC
The second annual edition of BAD Day will feature an even bigger main stage that will set the soundtrack with an eclectic mix of high energy tunes– headlined by The Revivalists and Grace Potter with support from some of the hottest artists on the road today.
ART
BAD Day isn’t all about the music. Throughout the festival area, art will be celebrated around every corner: A village of arts & crafts vendors, live mural painting, large scale art, participatory art activations, and creative surprises abound.
WELLNESS
AN?PATH is back to elevate the vibes! Start your day off with an invigorating and energizing combo of movement + breathwork + sound meditation and enjoy plenty of hydrating options throughout the day.
KIDS & FAMILIES
BAD Day Music & Arts Festival is a family-friendly event and 100% FREE for children 12 and under. We are all about creating a family friendly event, which is why we are building the BAD Kid Zone in the main stage festival area. If the kids get a little restless, bored, or simply need a break from the music or sun to do kid stuff, bring them over to the BAD Kid Zone. Here the whole gang can take a load off in the shade, play some games, or let their creativity fly with arts & crafts. We promise it will be open to BAD kids and good kids alike!
LATE NIGHT EVENT
Later in the night, the energy shifts to an evening celebration across the street at the iconic Brooklyn Arts Center. The evening celebration will be ticketed separately and feature a soundtrack that will have our night owls dancing into the wee hours. All information on the evening celebration will be released in the coming months. Stay tuned!
