The Great Lakes Folk Festival is somewhat of an all-in-one festival. Described as a fusion of arts fair, music festival, county fair, multi-ethnic festival and hands-on activity workshops, it is truly a celebration of art, culture and heritage.
The festival includes nearly 100 musicians or dancers in groups, offers global fare in its food vendors, and a plethora of craft vendors and other individual artists/demonstrators.
It is a both a celebration of the traditional cultural treasures of the Upper Midwest, and the many global and cultural traditions represented in the diverse population of our region.
The Great Lakes Folks Festival will be held Aug. 13-15, 2010 in downtown East Lansing.
