» Great Lakes Folk Festival
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
So I am not sure about any of you, but by this point in the summer my wallet is usually running pretty dry. Although I generally have a shortage of funds, I don’t want my ability to get out and enjoy the great weather and longer days of summer to be hindered. Fortunately, there are a lot of fun events happening around East Lansing and MSU’s campus, and the best part? They’re free.
This weekend August 7-9 check out the Great Lakes Folk Festival presented by the MSU Museum. It is billed as being a “unique fusion of arts fair, music festival, county fair, multi-ethnic festival, hands-on activity workshops, and celebration of cultural heritage.” Some of the musical performers include Lost Bayou Rablers (Cajun), Slide (Irish Celtic), Jesse McReynolds and the Virginia Boys (Bluegrass), and Shotgun Party (Western Swing). There is somthing to suit almost every musical taste and it’s held right in East Lansing. And don’t forget the food! There will be regional and ethnic foods like Ethiopian, Hawaiian, Jamaican and more.
Parking will be available in East Lansing, on the MSU campus, and also at commuter lots.
For more information or to volunteer, call the MSU Museum at (517) 432-4533
Hope to see you there!
