moe.
In its 16th year, the 2008 Sleeping Bear Dunegrass & Blues Festival will continue its celebration of organic music and plant it in sublime and inviting Northern Michigan. Over the weekend of July 31 - August 3, Dunegrass finds its home 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.

ps- to all the folks who give michigan a hard time, let us not forget some of the great things about my home state....isle royal national park, pictured rocks, pistons/red wings/tigers for the sports fans, great cities like ann arbor, tons of top-notch microbreweries (founders, dark horse, olde peninsula, bells....), and, oh yea, two of the best festivals of the summer.

absolute has obviousely never been to the north west michigan coast where kind folks rule the shores. I've been all over the world and the Michigan north west coast in the summer rivals anywhere. Fun festival by the way. Music ends early but don't be surprised to see local Michigan acts thrive during an acoustic late night campfire set.

Dunegrass rocks. 10 minute walk to Lake Michigan from the campgrounds, and if you disc golf, two awesome courses in the area (short drive). Not enough hours in the day for this weekend. "Family friendly" means "quiet time starts at midnight" but I believe it's part of the deal they have with the town since it is in the middle of Empire. It is still one hell of a time anyhow. WARNING: you do not camp by your car so be prepared to transport it if you bring a ton of gear.

Steel Pulse - we only stop the music so we can start again - I love watching these guys perform LIVE.
