🧑🏻‍🚀 Blast Off

 🎸 10th Annual Microwave Dave Day

The 10th annual Microwave Dave Day will be held at The Lumberyard on October 13 from 3 - 9 PM. The free event will feature performances from over 50 local musicians across three different stages.

The event will also celebrate the re-opening of The Lumbaryard and will have tons of food trucks, drinks, and educational vendors on site.

Microwave Dave Day began in 2015 when Huntsville Mayor Tommy proclaimed June 28, 2015, Microwave Dave Day. A concert was held to celebrate, and ever since then, an annual celebration has been held.

While the event is completely free, donations are appreciated. All proceeds go to the Microwave Dave Music Education Foundation to support their local music education program and student music scholarships.
