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 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 here in MySpace.
WE WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM!!!!

Influences:
Mike Vanderberg
Founding Father of Dunegrass Festival
"Perhaps Mike’s greatest gift was his ability to provoke others into new thoughts and untested actions, then calmly ride the waves of strong opinion and stormy opposition to a place where people could come together, to make a stronger community that is friendly, family-oriented and fun. Like the famous anchor on the beach, he remains one of Empire’s most stalwart symbols."-F. Josephine Arrowood, August 23, 2007, Glen Arbor Sun
