Leilapalooza Music Festival is July 29-31 in Battle Creek
Eleven years ago, the Battle Creek Metropolitan Area Moustache Society (BCMAMS) decided to start an outdoor music festival that would take advantage of some incredible recourses in the area. The first is the Leila Arboretum, a 72-acre paradise just west of downtown Battle Creek. The other resource is a great variety of talented musicians and entertainers. It all comes together this week, July 29-31, 2021 with the 11th Annual Leilapalooza Music Festival.
Organizer J.J. Ramon, a member of BCMAMS, said “We started out in our first year with 22 music acts and expanded to include about 66 acts in 2016. We trimmed it down a little bit over the last couple of years, and of course last year we weren't able to have the event. This year we're back up to about 22 plus acts or probably closer to 30.”
