Friday is the last day of school in Howard County. It’s a half day. It’s also the beginning of Lakefest, the free Columbia Festival weekend whose catchphrase has long been:
Your summer starts here.
I’m sensing some synchronicity.
Lakefest is present by the Columbia Festival of the Arts (supported by many local partners.) The fun kicks off at 5:00 pm on Friday with a performance by LJR on the Lake Stage. Hours for the festival are as follows: Friday, June 14: 5:00 pm – 10:30 pm, Saturday, June 15: 11:00 am – 10:30 pm, Sunday, June 16: 11:00 am – 7:00 pm.
What you’ll find:
The Columbia Festival returns to the Downtown Columbia Lakefront with its FREE LakeFest Weekend featuring three days of live music*, an invitational fine arts & crafts show, kids’ entertainment and crafts, a variety of activities for all ages, and fabulous festival food fare.
Here’s a handy dandy map of the festivities. (What? No People Tree?)
Free parking (including Accessible Parking) available nearby at the Wincopin Circle parking garages. Visitors can also park at the Sterrett Place lot located at 5575 Sterrett Place. PLEASE DO NOT PARK AT WHOLE FOODS MARKET.
A schedule of events:
Columbia Festival of the Arts is on Facebook and Instagram and they’ve been providing daily posts leading up to the big Lakefest Weekend, including information about food vendors, participants in the juried arts and crafts show, and more. Take a look and see what might interest you.
At the moment, weather predictions look hopeful. Keep your fingers crossed.
