The CMJ Music Marathon is a crazy and wonderful time for music lovers. The offerings are plentiful, and thankfully, there are many ways to enjoy the festivities without spending a dime. We’ve rounded up a bunch of evening events for your perusal that are free (except where noted). Some require RSVP, so be sure to follow the directions. Not all are official CMJ events, but as long as their music related and happening between October 13-17, who’s counting. Happy music festivaling, everyone!
