LakeFest: A Weekend of Free Events

Presents East Coast Premiere

Acrobats on stilts roll into backbends and bodies fly in the air, spinning and twisting from a 28’ high steel scaffold. As they shed layers of armor, the aerialists slowly transform from superhuman warriors to fragile nymphs balancing high above your head, hanging precariously from straps, the cage and each other before finally descending to earth.

From the brassy collection of saxophones, trombones, and trumpets to the raucous percussion corps, the 24-member MarchFourth is a jaw-dropping musical celebration! A frenzy of fire spinning stilt walkers are a backdrop for the outrageously-costumed dancing beauties that fill the stage with their original routines inspired by everything from burlesque to Bollywood. MarchFourth will perform throughout the weekend on the LakeFest grounds, and for the finale each evening on the LakeStage. You won’t want to miss a single show!

The LakeStage will be jamming all weekend long as the Festival features the best in local, regional and national touring artists. From folk to blues, rock n' roll to reggae, there is a band for everyone's taste. Come on down and let the good times roll.
