For several years, too many to recall; there has been a dip in the culture reservoir and lucky for all of you the Corktown Music Festival is here to fill it. This Saturday July 24, 2010 in Roosevelt Park Detroit, abundant souls will gather to benefit from this third annual day of music together.  Starting at high noon, with the support of Detroit International Lions Club, The DO Foundation, Spin Detroit, Maiden Detroit, 4th Horizon Beatlovaz, festival founder Quietdown Press; plus you, me and everyone else~ numerous artists, musicians and DJs will take to three stages to perform. The closing will be at ten o’clock. Admission is free. Many vendors and booths will be on hand that you may purchase goods and merchandise. There will be a 'Kid’s Tepee' surrounded with activities for all ages. Also if you haven’t heard, this is a pet friendly event (please review guidelines).
