We discuss everything from Chicago's abundant summer festival season (Lollapalooza, Taste of Polonia) and its iconic “pop vs. soda” debate, to Boston's patriotic milestones like the 250th anniversary events and the tradition of the Tall Ships. Damon shares the story of a popular, multi-age house festival on Detroit's Dequindre Cut bike trail, and we explore the growing trend of local, restaurant-sponsored block parties in Milwaukee.

The conversation shifts to the enduring appeal of physical music, sparked by a recent vinyl convention, and the philosophy of crate digging versus simply buying new music. Learn how local events sustain DJ culture and community engagement across different cities.
