Rexburg Meltdown, a free, local music festival, will be held on June 28, from 1-10 p.m. at Porter Park.

“It’s an ​all-day ​free ​event and ​people ​are ​welcome ​to ​come ​and ​go ​as ​they ​please,” said Blake Johnson, one of the organizers of Rexburg Meltdown.

The music festival will have mocktails, vendors, games, prizes and live music from 16 bands and two acoustic artists.

“Most ​of ​these ​vendors ​are ​all ​students ​at ​BYU-Idaho, ​too,” Johnson said.

There will be vendors selling vintage clothes, jewelry and other wares.

Rexburg Meltdown is put on by a duo including Johnson and another organizer, Seth Chamberlain.

“We ​are ​two ​BYU-Idaho ​students ​who ​are ​passionate ​about ​our ​community,” Johnson said.

Rexburg is a great place to be part of a community, according to Johnson.

“For ​a ​lot ​of ​people ​who ​don't ​fit ​into ​the ​typical ​Latter-Day ​Saint ​mold, ​it's ​difficult ​to ​find ​that ​community ​because ​statistically ​speaking, ​there's ​less ​of ​us," Johnson said.

Their mission is to raise awareness of the thriving subculture in Rexburg, according to Johnson

"People ​can ​get ​involved ​in ​the ​community and ​can ​make ​something ​bigger ​than ​themselves ​and ​make ​people ​connect," Johnson said.
