IndieCraft returned to Springfield May 19 and 20, 2023. The open to the public festival is a celebration of music and craft beer and has become a mainstay of the burgeoning community in Springfield's downtown.

The first night of the festival featured performances at COHatch, Mother Stewarts, Station 1, and the newly revitalized State Theater. Artists included: Joe Waters, Tree No Leaves, M Ross Perkins, Altameda, The American Landscape, R. Ring, and Bomb Bunny.

WYSO music photographer Ruthie Herman was on hand to capture the event for us.
