The 10th annual Tarfest – the music and arts festival on the Miracle Mile – officially kicks off tonight with an exhibition curated by Holly Harrison of LACMA, but for music fans the treats come Saturday when a free, all-ages outdoor festival goes off in the park adjacent to the La Brea Tar Pits.

The musical lineup features Blondfire, Soft Swells, Helena, So Many Wizards, the Steelwells and the Makepeace Brothers. The park figures to be hopping with live art exhibits (including paintings by artists Greg “Craola” Simkins, Johnny “KMNDZ” Rodriguez and Van Saro), sculptures from Bertil Petersson, Tom Winter, Mattia Biaggi and David O. Johnson, a beer and wine tent and gourmet food trucks. Buzz Bands LA will be on hand to emcee and DJ between the live sets.

After the jump, set times for the bands:

2:50 p.m. – Soft Swells
4:00 – Helena
5:10 – Steelwells
6:20 – The Makepeace Brothers
7:30 – So Many Wizards
8:40 – Blondfire
