Dust off the fiddle and bring your dancing shoes as the Folk Festival kicks off at Pere Marquette Lodge on Sunday, March 3 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. The festival will be a celebration of American Culture and will take place in one of the most historically significant areas in the region. Festival goers will enjoy live performances by authentic dance groups such as the Thunder and Lightning Cloggers. As one of the original American folk dances, clogging originated deep in the Appalachian Mountains and is also known as flatfooting, foot-stomping, buck dancing, or jigging. Dance Discovery will also be performing historically faithful social dances from the Louis and Clark Era in full dress. The folk festival will also feature live demonstrations by artisans, music, children’s activities, craft and art vendors, restaurant favorites, and wine tasting. The festival is free and open to all who want to experience authentic American culture in a historically significant atmosphere. For more info call (618) 786-2331.
