Miss Cantaloupe
Miss Cantaloupe is a Philadelphia-based Indie dream-pop band.

Listen to their latest full length album Lemon Bops & Melon Drops and catch their fanciful performance also on the Main Stage at 5pm!
Karina Daza
New York-based latin pop artist Karina Daza makes her Ladybug Festival debut with a brave and inspiring anthem. Their 2021 single ‘Mujeres Will Riot’ surrounds you with its massive strings, soaring back up choir, and powerful lyrics. Daza switches back and forth between English and Spanish speaking to a wide audience but not forgetting where her roots lie. Proceeds from the song went to Project South, an organization dedicated to helping women survivors get justice. Catch her performance on The 5th Street Stage at 5:20pm.
Jada Lee
Jada Lee is a Philadelphia R&B and hip-hop inspired artist and producer. Their latest release ‘Like That’ is a hefty and dense conversation between the artist and an x lover. She opens up about ignoring red flags but trying to give the benefit of the doubt only to be burned in the end. See her performing live on the Willingtown Square Stage at 6:15pm.
Rose Cora Perry & The Truth Untold
Canadian rockers Rose Cora Perry & The Truth Untold are bringing their power chords, big vocals, and feminine prowess to Wilmington.

CLOVER
