Here it is, folks — the music lineup for the Plaza Stage.

We are pretty excited about seeing these bands with the majestic St. Johns Bridge as their backdrop and look forward to rubbing elbows with all of you in the front row. And remember the entire event, including all of the music is *entirely free*, so please join us on Saturday May 13th!

The 10th Annual St. Johns Bizarre is now accepting vendor applications! Please take a look at dates, details and other helpful information. We seek to create a balanced offering of vendors that appeals to the entire community.

Last year, the Bizarre welcomed over 80 local vendors, selling an impressive array of handmade art and craft items, including jewelry and clothing, home goods, photography, and painting. Also featured each year are a number of food vendors, as well as booths featuring local community organizations.
