Where does it go from here?
possible possibilities for what future creations might spring from
Lake Wylie Music Fest
It began during the Summer of 2011 and we learned a lot as we experimented, tested, succeeded, and celebrated a fun and well-received beginning. We hope to gently grow some enthusiasm for more river-centric expressiveness! We’d love to see our event grow with even more varied performers and artists represented. It is not our intention or desire for this to go commercial. We want it to remain in the hands of the real river rats of our community, to be held in public venues rather than business settings, to be free and accessible to all floating participants who wish to join the party. And when we say “party,” we mean a colorful and laid-back party atmosphere that inspires play and creative expression. While the focus is honestly for adult entertainment, we do honor the possibility that young folks might show up sometimes and will maintain a healthy atmosphere for most appetites. It’s a water-based festival! Festival goers might bring binoculars for really close-up viewing …. but the intention is to create a playful party atmosphere ……..accentuating the uniqueness of our community!
GROWTH: The sky’s the limit, of course. And there are some events in the world that are somewhat similar to our ultimate vision – Gallery crawls in NoDA, The Lake Eden Arts Festival in Black Mountain, The Tosco House/Music Parties, and the Sunset Celebrations in Key West, FL. But, of course, Lake Wylie Music Fest won't be just like any of those. Instead it is our hope to infuse what we create with the flavor of our unique lake community. The Waters of Wylie are filled with artsy, funky, creative, inventive gifts and the areas all around us brings more creativity as well. We will keep all kinds of inspirations in mind to fuel our creative juices. However, the seed vision is for the people of Lake Wylie...including those who trailer their boats in regularly. And we intend to create something that is relaxed for all involved including the creators….so not too big!
