"LIVE Along the Lake" Returns to Centennial Park

Sunday August 27, 2006
Metro Parks invites Nashvillians to spend their Labor Day around Centennial Park’s beautiful Lake Watauga during LIVE Along the Lake - a free music and arts festival. The lake presents an enjoyable and refreshing backdrop for a relaxing stroll along delightfully landscaped walking paths while listening to live music and viewing art.

From noon to 6:30 PM – on and near Lake Watauga’s lovely walking paths – works for sale by Nashville-area visual artists and craftspeople will be on exhibit. Among the artists and craftspeople present will be; painters Jerry Adams, Olga Alexeeva, Reva Hodges, Nikolai Plavski. and Bernadette Resha, jewelry makers Alejandra Amezcua, Sheila Downs and Hui-Ling Shih, Becky Byrd (hand-made greeting-cards), photographers Charlie Doggett and Joe Fizer and sculptors Gerald Sanders and Alison Touster-Reed.

An added feature to this year’s LIVE Along the Lake are the “Moving Performances” by stilt walkers (3:00 to 6:00) and the Catahoula Brass Band (from 2:00-5:00) – a New Orleans style marching band – who will be “on the move” during the event. The five music stages will present:
· Lake Point Stage: 2:45-4:45 Klezmer Kids, 5:00-6:00 David Peterson and 1946 (Bluegrass)
· Sunken Garden: 2:00-2:45 John Pell (classical guitar, violin, flute) 3:00-5:00 Gypsy Hombres (Jazz)
· North Side of Lake: 2:00-3:30 Old Time Dulcimer Club
· Parthenon Circle: 2:00-6:00 Nashville Old Time String Band Association
· East Side of Lake: 2:00-6:00 Holleman & Company (dramatic arts), Commedia Del Arte (comedy)

Metro Parks encourages the public to wear comfortable shoes and bring blankets and lawn chairs. A variety of food vendors will also be there so you can have lunch and dinner without missing any of the sights and sounds.

Call 862-8400 for general LIVE Along the Lake information, 862-8424 for information about musical entertainment and 862-8442 for information about the crafts and visual arts aspects of LIVE Along the Lake.
