Poor organization and a lull in the local music scene had halted music festivals in Danbury for a few years, when Tony Yacobellis organized the first Safe to Swim Weekend last year. Using the same promoting skills and set of connections that keep Sub Rosa Party, his alt-rock showcase at Cousin Larry's, flooded with bands four to six days a week, Yacobellis nabbed enough acts to play Larry's, the Danbury Green and elsewhere for 48 very loud hours. Like a week's worth of shows at Larry's, there was an impressive array of well-known locals, up-and-coming NYC acts and a few national and international arrivals. Through the lineup and details are still in the works, a second Safe to Swim is scheduled for the first weekend in September
