Burritofest, a multi-day music festival at the Comet in Northside, is returning for a second year with even more acts and performances.
Organizers say this year’s Burritofest will feature bands and musicians from an eclectic range of genres, including punk, bluegrass, heavy metal, folk and more. Many acts will come from Cincinnati’s local music scene, and the lineup is a mix of beloved and well-established artists, as well as up-and-comers across three stages.
The music fest will take place May 11-14. The four-day fun starts Thursday with a pre-party and continues with two full days of performances on Friday and Saturday. It ends with a Sunday afternoon showcase. Burritofest 2023 will also have more standup comedy acts, including Geoff Tate, Luke Fegenbush, Ossia Dwyer and more.
And you can’t have Burritofest without burritos. The Comet will once again have special edition burritos that will only be on the menu for the weekend. There will also be special edition Burritofest T-shirts for sale.
Admission is pay-what-you-can. All the proceeds will go to performers and bar staff.
