All ages are welcome to join in this night of creative expression showcasing the talents of Carlsbad teens. Highlights include:

Battle of the bands

The winning band will receive a one-day recording session in Hurley’s professional recording studio, Big Bear Mountain Resort ski lift tickets and paid gigs with the Rock the Library concert series.

Neon dance room
The neon dance room will be rocking all night with dance music, black lights, neon artwork and cool lighting effects. Wear neon colors or bring glow sticks for a brighter experience.
