Now in its 6th year, IndieCraft continues to celebrate the power of music, bringing together passionate fans and groundbreaking artists. In 2025, we’re keeping things intimate and curated, ensuring every moment feels personal, every set unforgettable, and every sip of craft brew perfectly paired with the rhythm of the night.
This year, IndieCraft is turning up the energy with two dynamic venues, each capturing a different pulse of the festival. Friday May 16th will kick things off with an electrifying double-header at Mother Stewart’s Brewing and The State Theater. At the brewery, Leggy brings their raw energy and infectious hooks. Meanwhile, just down the street, The State Theater pulses with the genre-blurring sounds of Salvador Ross, WAFHU, and Visitor, delivering a night of psychedelic rock, indie grit, and sonic experimentation. With both venues alive with music, Friday night sets the stage for a weekend where creativity, community, and unforgettable moments collide.
On Saturday, May 17th, IndieCraft comes alive with a full day of music, craft brews, local distillers and community vibes. With a carefully curated lineup, two iconic venues, and a seamless flow from sunlit revelry to an intimate nighttime spectacle, this day defines what IndieCraft is all about.
By day, we’re kicking things off at Mother Stewarts Brewery—a local staple with an expansive outdoor stage and a patio so huge it practically begs for a party. Here, Stay Outside and Snarls will electrify the atmosphere while our BeerFest pours out the best in craft beer and good vibes.
As dusk settles, the action shifts to the iconic State Theater. Steeped in history since its grand opening on November 17, 1927, this beautifully restored venue exudes character and charm. The beautifully restored venue sets an intimate, electric atmosphere, where Aaron Lee Tasjan and Wild Pink will take the stage for a night of raw, soul-stirring performances. Adding an unexpected twist, local craft distilleries will be on hand to offer tastings—just a flavorful side note to the live music spectacle.
Together, these two venues deliver a full-day celebration that starts with sun-soaked energy and rolls into a night of captivating rhythms and artisan spirits. IndieCraft 2025 is all about keeping it real, keeping it local, and keeping the music alive. So whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-timer, join us for a festival where the music, the moments, and the memories are all crafted just for you.
