'The most music you can pack into a Saturday': Leilapalooza returns Saturday in BC
BATTLE CREEK — Live music returns to the rolling hills of Leila Arboretum this weekend with the 13th annual Leilapalooza Music Festival.
The 72-acre municipally-owned arboretum will welcome local artists, regional artists and music lovers alike for a full day of music on Saturday, July 29.
The event is free and open to the public, though there is a $10 on-site parking fee.
The event's organizers — Battle Creek Metropolitan Area Moustache Society and Leila Arboretum — say the festival will feature nearly 40 bands performing music from a variety of genres across three stages. Live music begins at 11 a.m. Saturday and runs until midnight.
It's "the most music you can pack into a Saturday for less money than a trip to your favorite fast food joint," organizers said.
All vehicle and pedestrian traffic must enter through the main arboretum gate at 928 W. Michigan Ave. No coolers or outside alcohol are permitted.
Blankets and chairs are welcome, organizers said. Food and drink vendors will also be available on-site.
