Light City's big draw is its illuminated art installations, but the festival also offers a wide-ranging live entertainment lineup.
This year's music headliners are Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Papadosio and Biz Markie, and dozens of other artists and bands are scheduled to perform throughout the week. All performances are free.
Baltimore Sun music critic Wesley Case has highlighted his seven must-see acts here. But to help you keep track of all of the offerings, here's a rundown of the full Light City 2017 music schedule:
