Laconia fest

Woodsy · 04-28-2016, 07:09 PM

People are overly worried about nothing...

I would not worry about parking.... or traffic being worse than usual. The ticket is good for all day, (I believe its an electronic bracelet) and the music starts at 12pm. You can come & go as you please. This will not be like a show at the Garden or Meadowbrook where you have to show up by a certain time and have to stay for the whole show.

I suspect most people will arrive early, score a parking spot somewhere for $10-$20 bucks, take the train or the rumored shuttle buses (same lots as Pumpkin Fest) and go walk around until the band they want to see comes on the stage. Not to mention the majority of the people attending will be on motorcycles.... weather permitting! It is Laconia after all!

Traffic might be a little tight at the end of the night when everyone leaves.

I saw what was remaining of Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Broken Spoke about 10 years ago- and Blue Oyster Cult not too long after that. Enjoyed both shows. With all of the bitching about how Bike Week is dying and there needs to be something to be done about revenue to The Weirs- at least this is a step in the right direction. I'll be interested in seeing a show or two. If I don't like it, then I won't go back. It's that simple.

I'm sure this entire week and these wonderful folk bands will draw a great group of up scale , family style people that will create just the envireoment a Laconia needs to accomplish their goals , that's if their goal is to be the next Ferguson

Your reference to Ferguson is not even remotely accurate. Apples to Oranges.

I couldn't agree more. One of New England's most famous musicians is playing at Bike Week and we get a reference to Ferguson? I'm having trouble making the connection.
