The Lotus World Music & Arts Festival takes place annually in Bloomington, Indiana, where Indiana University is located. There are concerts and events in a number of locations in the downtown area, so can just move from one event to another. They bring in artists from many music traditions all over the world. And while you may assume that "Lotus" refers to an exotic flower, in fact the festival is named after Lotus Dickey (1911-1989) who was a local singer-songwriter from Orange County IN. ]]> 2021-11-19 16:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sgbrinker/azo1vcmr908pz3io/wish/1902480772 https://padlet.com/sgbrinker/azo1vcmr908pz3io/wish/1902480864 This music festival is a 4-day event of music, with over 50 artists playing outside on 6 different stages.
