(Shopper News photso by Will Kowalski)14th annual Leilapalooza Music Festival another fundraising hit at Arboretum
and continues to be presented by the Battle
Creek Metropolitan Area Moustache Society
(BCMAMS), and is an annual fundraiser for the
Leila Arboretum Society.
Super summer weather – sunny skies with
temperatures in the low- to mid-80s – provided
festival goers with perfect outdoor conditions
for the festival.
“It’s just a nice, wide-open space for this
event, Leilapalooza,” said event committee
leader J.J. Ramon, “and the bands all donate
their time, so that’s a big help for us as far as
fundraising for the Leila Arboretum Society
goes.
“Plus, the food and craft vendors pay a fee to
show up, we have (adult) drink sales and t-shirt
sales, and a $10 fee for parking – and all those
funds help out the Leila Arboretum Society.
“It’s just a good way to give back to the
community.”
Ramon said that last Saturday’s attendance
was in the “3,000 to 10,000 people range, with
the crowds getting bigger as the day goes on- and especially when the bigger name bands
come on during the evening hours.”
“Leilapalooza gets a very family-friendly to
heavy-rocker type audience, and we start out
earlier in the day with the signer/songwriter
type and folk type music and blues, the lighter
fare, and then as the afternoon goes on we try to
do it like a mixed tape – where things get a little
louder in the afternoon, and then in the eve-
ning we have the heavy-metal rockers and the
cover bands with a little bit of country mixed in
there,” Ramon said.
“And also this year, in the Native Garden, we
have a dance club area with electronic music
and about a half-dozen DJs, and that’s going
good during the day now and will also ramp up
as the evening goes on.
“We’ve got music for everybody,” Ramon
said, “and it’s for a great cause.”
On the Fantasy Stage last Saturday were the acts
Jessie Elyea, Syd Mars, Celestial, SBM (Something
About Mary), Good Question, David Goyette, Truth
Untold, Black Swan Dive Bomb, Grand Circus, A
Ransom For Rain and 10 Gauge Rage.
On the Fountain Stage were the Hastings Nazarene
Singers, Vet Praise, Hannah Fae, The Reference,
Skattershot, Lucid Vibe, the Redtones, The Powell
Experience, O’Neil, the Daniel Staggs Band and
Barefoot Blonde.
And, on the Oak Stage were Cobalt Blue, Seas of
Jupiter, Vulcan Blue, The Ultraviolets, Fault of the
People, True Devil, Druid Drummer, Griff Paws,
Cheaper Than Water, Nuke & The Night Shift and
B Haan.
“We had about 70 bands turning in information
about wanting to be here this year, and we had to
knock that number down into the 30s space-wise
for our three stages,” Ramon said.
“So, the interest in this event remains big ... and
we’re happy to offer Leilapalooza again to the
community.”I’M
