Fantastic! This is great. Thank you for posting!

Your welcome, there are some great events happening this summer and without a site that indexes them all like Festing you would never be able to keep track of them.

Best of all, most are free and those that have an admission charge are almost all $10 or less.

Yes, we love going to the festivals in Indiana and Michigan over the summer and fall. There is a lot going on, and these festivals - some big and some small - paint a wonderful picture of the Midwest.

Lucky it's free. If tickets were sold to this event, I just know there would be illegal scalping outside the Music Building.
