Get Ready for Live Music at LakeFest, Oct. 21-22

Pine Lake's annual fall festival, LakeFest, includes two full days of live music on its lakeside Willow Stage, on Saturday and Sunday, October 21 and 22. LakeFest also features a marketplace with handmade art and crafts and great festival food. Admission and parking are free.

Saturday sounds open with lively performances by MAD Company, from the Music and Arts School of Decatur, and the dynamic Chamblee High School Marching Band! Then the lineup takes a rockin’ Americana turn with The Gin Joint Rascals and Clark Ashton and The BooHoo Ramblers. Saturday’s schedule also includes the unique Blues and Boogie Woogie of Skylar Saufley and the 99th Degree.

Sunday morning will showcase some Pine Lake favorites: The Driveway Ramblers, The Singfishers, and Cosmic Gospel Hour (“all of the music, none of the guilt”). Next up will be the melodic Indie Rock of Equal Creatures. Then the Floatzilla/Regatta, LakeFest’s signature wild water parade and race, will launch to the fun, original music of The Ain’t Sisters. Back by popular demand will be CubanaSong, bringing authentic Latin dance, ChaCha and Salsa to our stage. The weekend will wrap up with a true vanguard, the Atlanta Vanguard, a seven piece band that brings new flavor to the songs we love the most. A nostalgic conclusion to the LakeFest weekend.

Pine Lake is located just 12 miles east of Atlanta, between Decatur and Stone Mountain. Stay and play: the lake is surrounded by a park and wetlands with picnic spots and walking trails. Plan to make a weekend of it! For a complete festival and music schedule, visit www.pinelakefest.com
