SPECIAL EVENTS

10:00am-8:00pm Free balloon-twisting and/or face-painting in Kids Zone

Always one of the most popular aspects of any BMNFest, take the kids over toward Old Church Square on North Center Street to make memories with our talented friends, April and Gaby. This colorful fun is brought to you by Pop Daddy Snacks.

10:00am-1:00pm Donnie Hopps on Main Stage in Town Square

Returning for his second straight year, Donnie Hopps is a solo acoustic guitar player and singer, covering classic rock, and folky, older country songs.  These are songs that most everyone can recognize, and often sing along with. His shows are laid back and familiar, sometimes described as “friends around a campfire.” We certainly won’t need a campfire, but dial up some friends to hang out and sing along.

1:30pm-3:30pm The Loose Chords on the Main Stage in Town Square

A popular act at our festival for years, The Loose Chords are a dynamic acoustic duo. Bob Knox is on guitar and vocals, while Jim Humphries plays harmonica and percussion. Their recognizable blend of music consists of classic rock, Americana, country, blues and even some original tunes.

4:00pm-6:00pm 3rd Degree Byrnes on the Main Stage in Town Square

We’re delighted to be welcoming this trio of veteran musicians back to BMNFest. They will have you wondering whether to sing along, get up and dance, or just relax. Expect a high energy mix of blues, rock, and soul.

6:30pm-8:30pm Alternatives on the Main Stage in Town Square

Power-pop mixed with heavy ’60s and 70s-centric rock is the order of the day for the Alternatives. This crew is an accomplished and musically experienced Motor City quintet. The tunes range from hard driving Rock and Roll to melodic based harmonies. Make no mistake, the emphasis is on execution and meticulous virtuosity, which is what truly sets the Alternatives apart from the pack.
