Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Manifest Destiny

Billing itself as a “local festival with a global vibe,” the Manifestivus is back, and bigger than ever. The ninth annual two-day music throwdown in Cabot boasts it most impressive lineup to date, including pop troubadour headliner Brett Dennen, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Latin-fusion outfit Locos Por Juana and, as always, festival founders Toubab Krewe (pictured). There is also a distinct local flavor, as evident by Vermont-based bands such as Movement of the People, Wontanara, Casio Bastard, Lazerdisk Party Sex and many, many more. The festival runs from Friday, July 22 to Saturday July 23. For the full lineup and ticket info, visit manifestivus.com.
