Stumped on what to do this weekend? Like folk music? Well we’ve got the perfect place for you to get down this weekend. The Great River Folk Fest kicks off on Friday evening with Grammy winner Loudon Wainwright III at 7:30 p.m. at the Cartwright center at UW-La Crosse. The fest features great acts from around the country like Carrie Elkin, Radosalv Lorkovic and Café Accordion Orchestra. The festival features not just top-notch folk music but craft demos, a dance tent and loads of great food. The food is nearly as diverse as the music, with the Jewish Women’s League (Sunday Only) serving up some Israeli salad, and Jeanluc Rondreux featuring some of the finest Crepes this side of the Atlantic. The Great River Folk Fest has something for everyone including the kiddies. So rain or shine get yourself down to UW-L for some great entertainment and good eats. Tickets are available at the event.
