It was a busy weekend of sunshine (and a little rain), fresh air, great live music, fried plantains, art exhibits, and making cultural connections at this year’s Lowell Folk Festival.
I’ve lived in the greater Lowell area for four years and managed to miss it until now. I’m rather kicking myself; I had a really good time. I know I gripe a lot about local politics-as-usual and sometimes it must seem like I really don’t enjoy living here…but Lowell puts on her best face for this, the largest free folk festival in the nation (or so it’s said), and that face is open, joyous, tolerant, celebratory, artistic, and fun.
My compliments to my friend, Mehmed Ali, the current director of the Folk Festival. Great job! You could have ordered better midday weather for today, but everything else went swimmingly.
