Heavy Rebel Weekender to the Arts District - July 3, 4 and 5, 2009

It wouldn't be a Fourth of July week without the wicked return of Heavy Rebel Weekender to the Arts District. Now in its ninth year, the three-day musical event will be held July 3, 4 and 5, with more than 70 groups playing everything including rock 'n' roll, punk, rockabilly, country and swing. It is arguably the most interesting downtown event of the year. The festival's theme highlights the 1950s era, in which James Dean made rebellion tragically hip and spawned an entire trend in pop culture.

On tap for the weekend are vendors, vintage clothing, artists selling original creations, and sculptures from old car parts. One of the main attractions is the Saturday Custom Car and Bike Show on Trade Street, which features custom, restored and classic vehicles made prior to 1968. For the out-of-the ordinary, there is the popular Mud Wrestling Contest, which has moved up from Jell-O in previous years, a Beer-Guzzlin'-in-60-Seconds Contest and a Banana Puddin'-Eating Contest. Scary! Full refreshments will be provided during the entire event near the Millennium Center.

Tickets for the event are $70 (3-day pass) and $35 (a single day pass) in advance, $90 (3-day pass) and $35 (a single day pass) the day of the event; they can be purchased in advance at the Web site and at the door. The Millennium Center is located 101 West Fifth Street. For visuals, visit http://www.heavyrebel.net.
