MYFest - Amplified Voices

Introducing the Merriweather Youth Festival!

Columbia’s first Teen-focused festival takes over Merriweather Post Pavilion on April 25th!

MYFest is a FREE one-of-a-kind event designed by teens, for teens—a celebration of the creativity, leadership, and artistry of young artists from the DMV area. We hope you’ll come celebrate the arts with us at this exciting 6 hour festival of student talent!

Please join us on Saturday, April 25th from 2-8 PM for an afternoon filled with music, creativity, and the exciting energy of young artists coming together from across the region. MYFest isn’t just about watching from the audience, it’s a participatory festival…inviting everyone to get involved. Expect hands-on art-making, interactive workshops to grow new skills in your craft, and fun activities. Plus, you’ll find lots of spaces to express yourself, connect with others, and try something new.

To be held at Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Pkwy, Columbia, MD 21044. Organized by the Merriweather Teen Council in partnership with MACC staff, local arts organizations, and community partners. All participants must register via a Google form to attend. Thank you!
