CELEBRATING TWENTY-FIVE YEARS!
September 21th through 24th

 
High Zero Festival is a dynamic music festival that unites musicians from around the world, resulting in captivating performances that embrace the extraordinary sonic adventures born from unique collaborations.

That sounds really formal. Doesn't it? This festival is a seriously weird endeavor, and the fact that it's persisted this long means its so amazingly special. There's a devoted following and hard working volunteers that make it happen every year.

You can now join our friends who incrementally help us meet our needs throughout the year by participating in our Patreon.

Artscape
Artscape, Baltimore's incredible display of our city's creativity, was moved to the same weekend as High Zero Festival, this year. Many streets will be blocked off, and Artscape will have some evening activities on Friday and Saturday. Please, plan your travel time and/or parking accordingly. Consider arriving early to spend the day enjoying the street fair, grab some nearby dinner, and then come to the festival.


If four days aren't enough to satisfy, we're throwing a celebratory performance 7:30pm Friday, September 15th at Current Space. The performers will all be local High Zero alumni.
