Flood City Music Festival is an annual music festival held in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, presented by the Johnstown Area Heritage Association. The festival brings multi-genre live music performances to Johnstown's downtown, drawing its name from the city's defining historical identity as the site of the catastrophic 1889 Johnstown Flood.
Its city identity and multi-genre roots programming make it a useful western Pennsylvania music row.
