Sweetlife Festival Returns to Merriweather for Fifth Year, Date Announced


Sweetlife Festival is coming back to Columbia for a fifth year.

The food and music festival sponsored by Sweetgreen is set for May 10 at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Sweetgreen is a salad restaurant chain started by University of Maryland graduates.

No lineup or ticket prices have been announced yet.

Last year, Pheonix, Passion Pit, Kendrick Lamar, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs headlined the festival. Tickets ranged from $75 to $150. The festival combines top pop music acts and showcases food from the Maryland, Virgina, and Washington D.C. area.

CORRECTION: Originally this article stated the festival was coming back for its fourth year. In fact, 2014 will be its fifth year. We regret the error.
