Stars + Stripes Festival 2015

To celebrate a very special FIFTH ANNIVERSARY for Stars + Stripes, we've put together a greatest hits of sorts for 2015, bringing back two of the most memorable acts from the show's five year run.

Topping the bill, we've got Stars + Stripes 2013 headliners WALK THE MOON, currently riding high on the Hot 100 with the crossover hit of the summer in "SHUT UP & DANCE."

Joining them will be our golden girl ALEX WINSTON, who first graced the S+S stage in 2012.

Rounding out the bill, we're pleased to welcome two brand new faces at Stars + Stripes as NYC's ASTR heat up the dancefloor in the direct support slot, and Chicago's SANTAH kick things off early, both in their Martha's Vineyard debuts.

Furthering the YMCA's impact on Island youth, two local teens from Alex's Place at the Y are being given the opportunity of a lifetime to share a bill with their heroes. Alex's Place currently engages 400 teens annually, over 50% of whom are non-Y members able to attend thanks to the generous support of our sponsors.

"We are so grateful for the joy and relationships that the Island's afforded us, from our summer's growing up on the island to the present day, and we feel lucky and honored to find ourselves in a position to support the community through a celebration of our passion for music. By raising much needed funds for the YMCA of Martha's Vineyard that does so much for the local year round population, we hope to take steps towards giving back to the Island that's given us so much and hope you'll join us in this pursuit." ~ Stars + Stripes Festival founders Derek Davies and Lizzy Plapinger
