Music festival

Welcome to the 1^ST Annual Legion State Park Music Festival “RUNNIN & STRUMMIN”. 

Grab your friends, your neighbors,  your kids and Granny and Pops and come out and spend the day with us on Saturday, November 10 as we enjoy the music and the musicians of our area featuring bluegrass, gospel, country, folk, mountain and Delta Blues.

The day starts with a bang with a 5K Run /Walk at 10:00am. (Registration at 9:00 am – preregistration available – pdf download here on website) Runners head to the finish line as our musicians kick off along the route.

Enjoy the beautiful fall setting of Louisville’s Legion State Park as you stroll from venue to venue on tree covered lanes. Visit the historic Lodge and the recently restored post and beam Davis L. Fair, Jr. Pavillion. Shuttle service will be available throughout the park as well as food vendors.

Bring your guitar, dulcimer, banjo or harp for just maybe a little impromptu “jam session”. There will be a children’s program as well.

The day concludes as we honor our Veterans with a patriotic program and a fireworks display at the amphitheater overlooking Lake Toppasha.
