Zappa Fest a Success!

The Zappa Festival in Highlandtown was a resounding success. The dedication of the statue as well as the concert by Zappa Plays Zappa drew an international crowd upwards of close to 3,000 people. The event occured on Sept. 19, 2010 - the 25th anniversary of Frank Zappa's testimony before Congress regarding freedom of speech and expression in the arts. A wonderful time was had by all. We hope to participate in and support this event as an annual festival going forward. See you there in 2011!
