After a scare among clued-in Central Florida locals that last year might be the end, I-4 Fest is back and bigger than ever at Austin’s Coffee. The beloved 24-hour coffee shop is fully settled into its new Winter Park digs and back to boosting local creatives, including this annual July 4 bash.
Along with the new building and new (yet old) hours comes the opportunity for a new and expansive I-4 Fest, featuring scores of local artists, live music and an array of vendors. Expect three indoor and outdoor stages with an eclectic lineup of local talent — from MCs to indie bands to singer-songwriters — like Melia Adair, Wilfredo and Polo Baby Flako playing their hearts out from the afternoon into the wee hours. Welcome back.
4 p.m. Saturday, July 4, Austin’s Coffee, 2240 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park, austinscoffee.com, $5.
