This grassroots event celebrating local talent and music is back thanks to our dedicated and tireless core group of organizers and (new in ‘23) a group of generous and local sponsors. The event is organized and coordinated by volunteers who live in the Woodmoor neighborhood. Dozens of volunteers open up their front porches and driveways in Woodmoor to the artists who will be playing all kinds of music for the public to enjoy.

Many of the inaugural WOODMOORstock performers are set to return this year, and nearly 40 great new additions to the lineup from all over DC Metro and Baltimore area, including: Pinky Lemon, Dot Dash, Sleeping on Saturn, The Grasso Brothers, Black Shag Sherpas, The Threetles, and many more.

SOME STATS AND USEFUL INFO: The 55 local and regional bands playing at 11 stages for the community have all volunteered their time, talents and equipment to support the arts in Silver Spring. No bands at the festival are compensated for appearing at WOODMOORstock. This year’s WOODMOORstock music festival, dubbed WOODMOORstock II, has grown after 2022’s inaugural festival attracted 39 bands across 9 volunteer porch/stages and more than 2,000 festival goers. Over 50 volunteers and over 150 musicians of all ages will be making this year’s event possible.
