This Friday Festival is dedicated to the blues. But, the event is also about activating the Arcadia Creek Festival Place and celebrating the rich history of festivals, amazing music, and simply good food. Featuring 8 food trucks, a merchandise village and great adult beverages, and two amazing bands.....this event has a little of everything. Ah, it's a festival!
Johnny Burgin - Headline Band
Friday, August 18 - 8-9:30 p.m.
Johnny Burgin will be in Kalamazoo as part of his West Michigan tour before he heads to Japan. He is an award winning Delmark recording artist who travels the world keeping the blues alive! Johnny and his trio will delight Blues music lovers. For more information about Johnny and his band, please check out: https://johnnyburgin.com/about/


Crossroads Resurrection Band
Friday, August 18 - 6-7:30 p.m.
The Crossroads Resurrection band has been a Kalamazoo Blues Band favorite for years. Their unique, funky blend of blues, soul and "swamp grooves" as well as their ability to make any crowd love them has been entertaining audiences for as long as we can remember. Their love of the blues is infectious and they make any event a fun time. And, we have the beverages and food to do just that.
Did we mention why we are doing these events?
The Friday Food Truck Festivals are a series of events that help WMU students learn how to host festivals that include great music, food trucks, merchandise vendors and adult beverages. It's an opportunity to create events that resemble big festivals, but are manageable to "pop up" in an afternoon and prove that events are fun, simple, and a bit easy to do.
