Saturday, Feb. 9: Love Our Local Fest

Olympia Ballroom

By Nikki McCoy on February 7, 2013

With an activity-focused afternoon, and a music and entertainment packed night, Love Our Local Fest has something for everyone. 

LOL kicks off Saturday afternoon with a free festival. From 1-6 p.m. at the Olympia Ballroom, expect live acoustic music, laughter yoga, children's activities, (including balloon drop), classical Indian music of Rag Dharma, Sean Gaskell's West African kora music, Flamenco dancing and local art, crafts and vendors.

Then, 7 p.m. to midnight - with a $12-$25 sliding scale cover - party-goers will experience a transformed space that includes a professional light show, dancing, trapeze, swing and aerial art, a live auction to support the free summer festival and a full bar. Live music includes the fun dance band Erev Rav Klezmer Orchestra. Vendors can choose to stay open during this time as well.
