Experience extra energy on the East Bank of the Flats in late February! Brite Winter brings together people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds, allowing them to discover new music and art while enjoying their community. Over more than fifteen years and across four locations, the festival has welcomed tens of thousands of guests, showcased hundreds of bands and artists, and thrived in temperatures ranging from 8 to 69 degrees. Brite Winter is not just a festival for the community—it’s one created with the community.
