Shelley Johansson - Flood City Music Festival

The 2026 Flood City Music Festival returns to Johnstown this weekend! The festival begins with a free concert on Thursday night, with the main festival happening on Friday July 24th and Saturday July 25th.

WQED-FM's Bryan Sejvar spoke with Festival Director of Marketing Shelley Johansson about this year's festival including the headliners Greensky Bluegrass featuring Holly Bowling and the Disco Biscuits. She also talks about some of the other acts she's looking forward to; the importance of the festival to include local acts; information on camping for the weekend (which includes tubing on the river!); the ease of getting around People's Natural Gas Park; and how the festival benefits Heritage Johnstown. Shelley says people from Johnstown head to Pittsburgh all the time, so take the easy drive for the festival.
