So over the big-name festivals everyone’s heard of? Get in on the next big summer thing by checking out Forecastle. Founded in 2002 as a free event spotlighting local bands, it has since outgrown three subsequent venues, attracted the attention of major sponsors and evolved into a festival celebrating art and extreme sports as well as music. More than 75 artists will perform this year on four stages.
