WKAR in Your Community: Great Lakes Folk Festival

Great Lakes Film Festival Music and Dance

Aug. 7-9 | Join Current State to experience music, dance and culture from across America and around the world. 

The award-winning Great Lakes Folk Festival emphasizes the importance of celebrating culture, tradition and community. In collaboration with the Michigan State University Museum, this festival reflects the immense variety and vitality of art, skill, knowledge, and wisdom of our cultural heritage in the nation's Upper Midwest for the public.

Visitors can look forward to a one-of-a-kind mix of music and dance stages, demonstrations of traditional arts and storytelling, authentic ethnic food, an arts marketplace, and many special activities for kids and their companions.

Current State will be there Friday at 6pm broadcasting live on 90.5. Look for us by the Dance Tent!
