ArtsQuest adds 1, drops 2 in this year's festival lineup

The 30th anniversary of Musikfest, the nation's largest, free music festival; the return of last year's SteelStacks High School Jazz Band Showcase; and the fifth anniversary of PeepsFest highlight this year's ArtsQuest festival and events lineup.

Nowadays, a new indie rock festival held last March, and SteelJam, a jam band festival held for two years, will not be presented.

The Blast Furnace Blues festival, also held the past two years, will move to spring 2014 and won't be presented this summer.

ArtsQuest is adding the Three Kings celebration, 3 - 7 p.m. Jan. 6.
