The Fest is an annual music festival in Gainesville, Florida, United States, organized by Tony Weinbender, formerly of No Idea Records. It is a predominantly punk rock and pop-punk festival, though there are also a good number of indie rock, hardcore punk, metal, and ska acts.[1]
The Fest takes place each year on the weekend of the Florida–Georgia football game (around Halloween) held in Jacksonville.[2]
