Launching in 2002 as a gathering hosting local musicians, Forecastle Festival has grown to become a major destination event.  The 2017 Forecastle takes place July 14-16 at Waterfront Park.  Additional acts listed in the first announcement include GRiZ, X Ambassadors, Vince Staples, Needtobreathe, Teddy Abrams & Friends, Conor Oberst, and Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires.  You can access the complete list via this link.

Of course, Forecastle’s traditional “fourth headliner” or, in other words, bourbon, will be highly visible.  The Forecastle Bourbon Lodge and Gonzo Bar will be operating on all thrusters as it serves up the finest potent potables in the land.
