Merriweather Post Pavilion Reopens With M3 Rock Festival

COLUMBIA, Md. (WJZ) -- The Merriweather Post Pavilion will host the M3 Rock Festival four months after it's roof collapsed in January due to strong winds.

The roof was under renovation at the time of the collapse. It was slowly being lifted 20 feet over several months as part of a five-year renovation project. It was near its final position, where it would be permanently attached, when it collapsed.
