The Soundside festival, a well-celebrated event in the musical calendar, will once again take place in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Scheduled for September 27 and 28, 2025, the festival marks its return to Seaside Park with a promise of unforgettable performances from an eclectic mix of artists across various genres.
