916 Growth Gigs hosted 916 FEST, a new local music festival. The weekend festival was a great showcase of the variety of sounds born from the local Sacramento scene. Many of the bands on the bill had previously played Cafe Colonial, where the fest was held, and took time out of their set to talk about how the Oak Park venue gave them their start when no one else would return their emails or phone calls. The Cafe Colonial is open until November 17th and will culminate in Colonial Fest 4 which you can learn more about here.
