Zaferia's homegrown Happy Sundays music fest expands to 2 days, hosts aerospace talks this weekend
The husband-and-wife musician duo behind the free 'anti-festival' festival hopes to keep expanding citywide in future years.
Scott Montoya and Julia Kugel Montoya, well-known figures in the indie music scene, have spent the past eight summers organizing Happy Sundays, a multi-venue event they hope strips away everything you thought you knew about music festivals.
"People picture festivals in a big field, where you pay $12 for water or whatever," said Julia, former guitarist and vocalist for the Coathangers.
Now in its eighth iteration, Happy Sundays will expand into Saturday, taking over the Zaferia District for a full weekend, Aug. 24 and 25. The free "anti-festival" festival has never been beholden to any one genre, age group or type of entertainment. This year, attendees will experience everything from punk rock to a symphonic petting zoo and more across seven venues.
