Summer is the time for music festivals. Even with this year\u2019s particular brand of sun-based brutality, summer is still the time to get outside, maybe enjoy a few coldies, and have fun enjoying some musical stylings while soaking in the vitamin D. And Tacoma\u2019s Live Loud Music & Arts Festival<\/a> taking place this Saturday, July 28th is upping the intrigue (for the coffee-going public at least) with the addition of LattePalooza<\/a>, a throwdown hosted by Dillanos Coffee Roasters<\/a> and Anthem Coffee Company<\/a>, happening smack dab in the middle of the festival.<\/p>\n A one-day festival, Live Loud is as much arts as it is music. The day kicks off with a merchant market featuring over 50 local makers as well as a live art community mural being created in real time. Then it\u2019s time for the latte art. Baristas will face off for pour-based dominance, with the winner taking home a brand new Nuova Simonelli Oscar<\/a> espresso machine. Second and third place finishers will take home and camping brew kit and a training and tour of Dillanos, respectively.<\/p>\n After the crema has settled and the winner announced, the proverbial stage will give way back to the literal stage, where Grammy nominated hip hop artist Q Dot<\/a> will close down the day\u2019s festivities with songs from his new album being released at the event as well as a \u201climited coffee line to coincide with the long anticipated new album,\u201d per the Dillano\u2019s press release.<\/p>\n For those looking to compete at LattePalooza, the sign-up fee is $10 and includes a shirt and beer ticket. Sign up begins at noon with the competition kicking off promptly at 6:00pm.
