LMBA Fest changes location to Wrigley Center due to upcoming rain

The Wrigley Center is accommodating the Lake Bonisteel Music Association Festival while also making adjustments to new bar game.

Prior to this move, the festival was set to take place from noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday at Pine Grove Park. Josh Raynard, president of the Lake Bonisteel Music Association, said the change of location is because of expected rain.

"We didn't anticipate the rain, but thankfully the Wrigley Center has graciously allowed us to move in there for the day," he said.

Raynard said the Wrigley Center will be able to accommodate the festivals seven bands. The festival will now be taking place inside the Colony Club, which is the main bar area inside the Wrigley Center.

Manager Matt Kirkett said the Wrigley Center was happy to provide LMBA Fest a new location. He said the only concern was that the football bowling area, also known as Fowling, would need to be moved as well to accommodate the festival.

"We're glad that we were able to step up to the plate and help them out," Kirkett said. "We look forward to bringing live music back to the Wrigley Center."

He said Fowling will still be available over the weekend. The lanes will be moved to the space next to the old Ren Man Bar just for Saturday while LMBA Fest takes place.

LMBA Fest is an annual music festival. In addition to the seven bands, people attending the festival can enjoy an instrument petting zoo, kid's crafts, vendors and a free instrument giveaway for kids.
