Levitate Music & Arts Festival

Every July, a corner of the South Shore starts to feel like the center of New England's music scene. Levitate Music & Arts Festival draws thousands to Marshfield for a weekend where surf culture, live music, and local creativity all share the same stage. Big-name acts may headline, but just as much time is spent wandering through the artist village, watching muralists at work, discovering local brands, and grabbing food between sets. It has the relaxed, barefoot energy of a beach town gathering with the lineup of a major festival, which is exactly why so many people make the trip year after year. You come for the music, but it's the atmosphere that keeps Levitate from feeling like just another stop on the festival circuit.
