Busy Weekend in Asheville: GeekOut and All Go West Fest June 7th & 8th

Busy Weekend in Asheville: All Go West Fest & Geek Out

Happening June 7th, 2014 the second All Go West Fest is happening in West Asheville. There will be three stages set up with bands playing starting at 11 am until 1 am. Three stages will be used, so pick and choose your bands wisely. Find bands at Isis, The Mothlight, and an outdoor stage (location of the outdoor stage is to be announced.) All Go West is an entirely free event, so be sure to show your local love and buy a beer (or two, or three…) from the venues that offer a fine variety of wares.
