looking for a good festival

this summer to bring my kids too. we went to wakarusa last year.

 

how old are your kids?

 

3 and 6

 

did they handle waka well?

 

should come to australia then.

 

bring them to Dogstock (Melvern, KS). www.dogstockfestival.com to see event info and lineup

Cheap fest, on private property (unlike wakarusa)

tix are 60 bucks a person with over 100 bands and 4 or 5 stages

Melvin Seals and the Jerry Garcia Band
Leon Russell
Banyan w/ Steve Kimock
Fareed Haque (guitarist of Garaj Mahal)
JFJO (Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey)
Bernie Worrell

to name a few. Check the lineup, they have some good classic rock and bluegrass bands. Jazz as well. I think this is a better fest for a family since its a little smaller and the crowd will be more suited for children (if thats possible for a fest). But you should definitely give it a look! Or come back to Waka if you enjoyed yourselves!

 

In a few months Parksville BC will be holding their annual International sand castle building competition. Kids always have tons of fun playing on our sandy - clean beach that is almost the size of Texas. There is a Website you could check out for a list of events. Cheers!

 

during my trip in Morocco, I had a really good time at the Gnawa music festival in Marrakech... you can participate in the dancing and singing! really cool!
