The Hartbeat Music Festival is a free, family-friendly celebration of music and community featuring local and regional bands on three stages, music-making activities, food, beer, and more.

The Hartford Taste is more than just a festival—it’s a movement that brings together our community to celebrate diversity in food, music, and culture while making a meaningful impact on our region’s economy.
