Live & loud in Lynnwood

Second annual Rock-It Fest turns up the volume in Wilcox Park Aug. 23

For the Enterprise

Nine local rock and metal bands converge in Lynnwood's Wilcox Park from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23 for a full day of all-ages, free live music at the second annual Rock-It Fest.

Local unsigned high school and college-aged bands including Zero Year, Terrace Tragedy, Voodoo Grace Notes, Deathbeat, Even Til, Blackout 101, Logos, Jar and Pseudo-Chrome will entertain their fans with a variety of music from progressive and punk rock to metal and hardcore.

Rock-It Fest came about when co-owners of Rock-It Music, Jeff Jewett and Rick Ryan and patron, Joe Mingo, approached the Lynnwood Arts Commission looking for a place where young unsigned bands could put on a show. Wilcox Park seemed the perfect location, and Rock-It Fest was born.

Admission is free, but bring at least three cans of food or cash to donate to the Lynnwood Food Bank and get one raffle ticket for a prize drawing to win an electric guitar or X-box 360. The event also includes video game stations by Game Crazy. Event parking located West of Wilcox Park at the Cedar Valley Community School, 19200 56th Ave. W, Lynnwood. Wilcox Park is located at 5215 196th Street S.W. in Lynnwood.
