An Afternoon of Peace, Love and Music

Events / By

Last summer, the Melrose Pop Festival drew more than 300 attendees to the Melrose Center for an afternoon of peace, love and music. An homage to the famous 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, the event featured some of Orlando’s most celebrated performers. It was so much fun, we’re bringing it back!  Join us for Melrose Pop Festival ’24 on Sunday, July 7, from 1:30–5 p.m. with an eclectic bill that brings together some of the local music community’s most beloved acts.

Want to revisit last year’s show? Grab a front-row seat to Melrose Pop Festival – A Concert Film, documenting the 2023 Melrose Pop Festival with performances by Eugene Snowden, Beth McKee, Marc With a C, Hannah Stokes, Oak Hill Drifters, Milk Carton Superstars and Marko Torres.
