Nexus Music and Arts Festival The Lebanon Opera House may be closed for renovations, but that doesn’t mean the show won’t go on. The annual Nexus Music and Arts Festival takes over Colburn Park and the surrounding area this weekend, with a stacked lineup of New England acts including Jaded Ravins, Dwayne Haggins, Hans Williams, Ali McGuirk, Kyshona and Bella’s Bartok. Two silent discos — a late-night one for the grown-ups and an all-ages midday dance — keep the party going, and the festivities close out with local legend Craig Mitchell’s Prince tribute concert.
Nexus Music and Arts Festival Last year, the inaugural Nexus Music and Arts Festival put an end to Lebanon Opera House’s pandemic hiatus with an unstoppable weekend of free outdoor entertainment. This year, it’s back to continue its mission to make the arts accessible to everybody. Visitors to Colburn Park, the rail trail tunnel and other nearby locales enjoy music, dance and more from local and touring artists. Audiences rock and roll to the soulful stylings of Bette Smith, get honky-tonky with the Western Terrestrials, learn the art of Pascua Yaqui movement from Sewam American Indian Dance, and jam the night away at the silent disco after-party.
