July 31st to August 3rd, 2008
Empire, Michigan in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
Hello Friends!
In its 16th year, the 2008 Sleeping Bear Dunegrass and Blues Festival will continue its celebration of organic music and plant it in sublime and inviting Northern Michigan. This first weekend in August, Dunegrass finds its home in Empire, Michigan located between the shores of Lake Michigan and the wooded hills of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lake Shore. The Festival showcases a collection of regional and national artists from multiple genres, all with roots steeped in tradition and vision, and arranges them on two adjacent stages for a continuous river of music. The festival grounds showcase talented artisans and vendors and provide a positive atmosphere for both weekend campers and daily visitors alike. Amenities include camping (tents & RVs), wholesome food, a children's activity tent, shuttles to the lake for swimming and lots of room for foot stomping.
Our official site at Dunegrassfestival.com will continue to be the root source for information about the Festival, but we're excited about making special announcements, staying connected, and finding new friends in MySpace.
Peace & Bless,
Dunegrass
