ABOUT COLUMBIA MUSIC FESTIVAL

The Columbia Music Festival is the brainchild of several music-loving communities and Columbia College Campus Life at Columbia University in the City of New York. After many years of separate (and awesome) day-long festivals (such as Bacchanal’s spring concert, Postcrypt’s Folk Fest, Live at Lerner’s Symposium, WBAR’s WBAR-BQ), we’ve decided to bring it all together for one awesome, week-long event exclusively for Columbia University students and affiliates.

Through this festival, we hope to show off the diversity of tastes and culture that Columbia—and New York City—have to offer.
