We are looking forward to welcoming the neighborhood and all of our many Andersonville fans to Clark Street on June 12, 13 & 14 for the momentous 50th anniversary Midsommarfest celebration! For the first time in Midsommarfest history the entire festival will open at 5:00 pm on Friday, June 12th with three stages of music, where we will be giving you an Andersonville favorite (16 Candles), some Swedish flavor (ABBA Salute), and a throwback to our first year with a Party Like It’s 1965 stage with lots of great music from the 60s (dressing up will be encouraged). Then starting Saturday at 11:00 am, we will once again have 5 stages of live music and entertainment all weekend long.
We will have much, MUCH more coming your way, but for now check out our line up for this year’s fest!
