State Street Theater hosts winter music festival

QUINCY (WGEM) - The weekend long Heroes & Starmen music festival kicked off Friday evening.

The event is at the State Street Theater. The event started at 4 p.m., Friday and will be from noon to midnight, Saturday and Sunday.

There will be live music from several bands. Each night has a different theme:

• Friday - Country
• Satuday - 80′s & 90′s
• Sunday - Local Legends

The event’s organizer Jake Messmer is excited to bring more live music to the area.

“People are longing, I think, mentally and emotionally to be one again and spend time with each other. So I think live music does that,” Messmer said.

The weekend pass is $40 or you can buy tickets at the door for $20 per show. Food and beverages will be available for purchase as well as merchandise from some of the bands.
