Held July 18 21, 2007 at the scenic Soo Pass Ranch in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, the fifth annual 10,000 Lakes Festival (10KLF) will provide yet another unforgettable weekend of live musical performances and campout experiences. A yearly tradition for music lovers nationwide, 10KLF has quickly established itself as a can’t miss summer event.
Nestled in the picturesque lakes country of Minnesota’s North Woods, the serene natural environment with reclaimed wetlands and lakeshore surrounding the camping and venue grounds provides the ultimate festival experience. Four stages, all within easy walking distance, feature over 60 diverse bands from around the world. Permanent, modern restroom/shower facilities with hot water, 24-hour food and merchandise vendors and wireless Internet access are all in place to make your 10KLF experience pleasant and hassle-free.
Retreat within the festival’s wooded hills and shaded campsites as a soundtrack from the jam band world’s crème de la crème plays in the background. Over sixty national, independent and emerging acts take the stage during the 4 day event. Impromptu campground performances are the stuff of 10KLF legend, and you never know who might be playing along the shores of Lake Sallie.
The feedback from the media echoes the response from attendees:
The Minneapolis Star Tribune admires that the 10,000 Lakes Festival was “filled with thousands of good vibes…The cutting edge of them all.”
Jambase.com calls 10KLF “gold from the North Country”.
Colorado’s Marquee Magazine affirms that “10KLF creates the summer’s best musical experience,” and Canada’s Jambands.ca remarks the event “everything a festival should be.”
The Star Tribune continues “Even the musicians are impressed by the fest site.” Backstage at 10KLF, Jon Bell, singer/guitarist with Widespread Panic performing the event in 2003 and 2005, tells the Tribune "There's room to move and lots of friendliness and not too crazy. It's a very open vibe. You can't create that."
While the main focus of 10KLF is meshing top notch entertainment within a pristine natural setting, the event also takes pride in being a philanthropic member of the community. By providing grants to a variety of groups including environmental awareness, hunger prevention, advancing arts education, voter registration, and other causes, 10KLF offers its patrons the opportunity to learn more about and raise consciousness within a variety of topics affecting its precious surroundings.
