Several Technology Area partners are also making generous donations of gear and expert instruction to help support the Music Technology program at Youthville Detroit.
Movement is also excited to announce that, for the first time, several crowd-pleasing food trucks will be onsite to serve up a host of tasty food options to festival fans.
