Back in the day, bands like Green Day and Black Flag plaed there. But on June 3, Cedar Valley bands will take the stage at the revived Boat House venue in Cedar Falls. 15-20 local and touring bands will gather together for Cedar Valley Do It Yourself (CVDIY) Fest III, a music and arts festival. CVDIY is an underground community music scene in the Cedar Valley. “It’s pretty much a collective – for lack of a better term – for Cedar Valley Do It Yourself,” said Jake Henry, member of the CVDIY organization. “Its primary goal is to facilitate a music scene here in town that’s based off of do it yourself ethics.” The festival will take place
from 10 p..m. to 1 p.m. The Boat House, also known as the Island Park Beach House, is located at 218 Center Street in Cedar Falls. The new structure reopened Oct. 1, 2015, where the old Boat House stood before it was destroyed in the severe floods of 2008. The new Boat House is available to rent for events from May to October. Henry said that anyone who wants to be involved in CVDIY can be included in the organization. The scene hosts shows at a house venue dubbed the Black Hole in Cedar Falls and the Wedge in Waterloo, among other venues. Henry explained that if one goes to shows and supports the local music scene, then they are technically a member. See CVDIY, page 2
