Music Festival System

🎵 Overview

The Music Festival System is a Blazor WebAssembly application that allows artists to create and manage festivals while allowing guests to view and purchase tickets for them. The project follows a three-layer architecture (PL, BLL, DAL) and integrates an Azure SQL Database for data storage.
