It’s here! More than 20 bands, all with connections to the neighborhood you love. Here’s everything you need to know to soak up the goodness of the 2014 Jamaica Plain Music Festival.
Where: Pinebank Field
When: Noon to 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6
Cost: Free! (But huge free community concerts cost money. Here’s how to donate.)
How to Get to There: Walking is of course the best way to go, given the crowds. Bikes are a close second. (There are bike racks at festival.) New at this festival are two transportation options: A trolley operated by the Sam Adams Brewery and a coupon for cheaper Uber service. The trolley will be making the following stops:
Stony Brook T > Music Festival (drops at Perkins Street steps) > The Haven > The Behan > Tres Gatos > Bukhara > James’s Gate > Stony Brook T
