On deck tomorrow: Culture Fest

Posted by Emily Sweeney September 6, 2008 03:03 PM

I just got an email from Jason (of Incus fame) saying that the New England Culture Fest has been postponed a day. The 5th annual fair trade festival was supposed to start this afternoon in downtown Lowell, but the organizers decided to wait for better weather tomorrow.

There's going to be a fair trade fashion show, dancing in the streets, organic beer on tap, interactive video art installations, salsa lessons, and a really diverse lineup of performers....they include Incus; a Mexican roots band; belly dancers; a flamenco quartet; a hip-hop-and-soul artist; an Afro-Brazilian dance troupe; a house & breaks/drum n' bass DJ; and a hippie "earthy and organic folk rock" band.

Here are the details:

New England Culture Fest
Sunday, Sept. 7, 2008
2 p.m. - 10 p.m.
@ the Enterprise Bank Parking Lot, across from 172 Middle St. in Lowell [directions]
Admission: $10, children under 12 Free
Proceeds benefit Second World, a nonprofit arts organization in Lowell
