Lake Waconia Band Festival 2007

The Lake Waconia Band Festival is marching into town on June 16th. The parade starts at 6pm and marches down Main Street in downtown Waconia. No floats, no clowns nothing but marching band after marching band.

I’m not sure why this is so big, but it really is. Tons of people and dozens of bands show up rain or shine. If you haven’t been to it before, it’s worth checking out. That is, unless you dislike marching bands. 🙂

If you plan to travel anywhere downtown on the 16th, be aware that I’ll be crowded and driving won’t be easy. If you live anywhere near downtown, you’ll get to hear the music if you want to or not. 🙂
