Lunney Lake Farm County Park, the event features regional and touring string bands and soloists delivering live acoustic jazz and swing performances and encouraging community dancing in an informal, family-friendly setting. The festival is notable for bringing the European Romani jazz legacy to Midwest audiences and showcasing improvisational string music.
