Now that summer has unofficially started, we can start celebrating the new season with plenty of sun and summer festivals. This weekend, the fourth annual Quarterfest Crawl is set to take place Saturday, June 3.

Hosted throughout Ballston and headquartered at Ballston Quarter, the food-focused festival will be held from noon to 7 p.m. The free event will include live music performances, more than 20 restaurants, and plenty of Ballston-specific giveaways and prizes.

Foodies will be able to enjoy free samples, food and drink specials, and other special offers throughout the day. Participating restaurants include Mussel Bar, Go Poké, Oh K-Dog, Hangry Joe’s, Taco Bamba, Punch Bowl Social, and more.

At Ballston Quarter, the music of DJ Ricky, Rook Richards, Keeton Band, and other street performers will fill the outdoor space. As you make your way through the crawl, there will also be additional musicians taking the stage at Bronson Bierhall, Ballston Local, Quincy Hall, SER, Rustico, and El Rey/The Filling Station throughout the day.

If seven hours of entertainment isn’t enough, festival goers can head over to the Quarterfest Afterpary at WHINO for even more music and food and drink specials.
