Lowell Folk Festival this weekend

[sauergeek]

The Lowell Folk Festival is this weekend, 24-26 July. It has lots of traditional folk music from around the world (i.e., no stereotypical singer-songwriters a la Christine Lavin or Bob Dylan), such as New Orleans jazz, zydeco, klezmer, Tuvan throat singing, and other fun stuff. There's all sorts of traditional ethnic food as well.

Come on up!

Before I go spend significant time communing with mbta.com, can you tell me how close the train station is to the event? Is it feasible to T in?

The train station is just over 1/2 mile to the first performance stage (the Dutton Street dance pavilion) and about 3/4 mile from downtown. It's eminently walkable. The Lowell bus system's central stop is at the train station, so you can also grab a bus downtown.

Public transit changes for the Folk Festival include extra trains leaving Lowell for Boston late on Friday and Saturday as well as a dedicated shuttle from the train station to City Hall downtown.
