Burritofest, a music festival at Northside bar The Comet, "intends to give patrons a little bit of several different ingredients... much like the burrito itself," according to a release.

- Sylmar
- The Bellowing Pines

- Sarah Gorak
- Annabelle Kitsune

All money collected will go to the bands and performers.
In terms of the namesake burritos — which The Comet is known for — Burritofest creator and director Tim Miller tells CityBeat via email: "There will be two special salsas and a special burrito created by The Comet's kitchen for that weekend only."
Burritofest takes place 6 p.m.-midnight on May 13 and 5 p.m.-midnight on May 14 at The Comet, 4579 Hamilton Ave., Northside. More info: facebook.com.
