MAIN STAGE

The main stage is located on Morton Street, right in front of City Hall.

Pirate Flags -  3-4 pm

Melding the various influences of Indiana and the rest of the world, like a juicy hoosier gumbo, The Pirate Flags are the flame keepers of original songs of da seas. This close knit cabal of rabble rousers first came together to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day, singing the ancient songs of sailing and piracy. Finding booty galore on this, their first venture, the Pirate Flags quickly added several new songs crafted from old poems (by their own Spunky Guido), and the Flags have been sailing the rock and rolling seas ever since!

Waiter/Waitress Race - 4 pm

A Taste of Bloomington tradition, the annual Waiter/Waitress Race pits teams of servers from area restaurants against one another in an exciting, and sometimes daring, race to see who has the best (or is that fastest?) service in Bloomington!

Coyaba - 4:30-5:15 pm

From the language of the Arawaks, Jamaica's original inhabitants; COYABA: a place of ease and rest, with infinite feasting and dancing, a kind of heaven. They are Coyaba!!! An original, innovative, roots reggae band based in Bloomington, Indiana. Their mission is to spread a positive message of social conscience through good vibes and driving rhythms. The sound is unique, combining the best aspects of all reggae music into a powerful sound composed of a pulsating melodic bass line, dusty organ, skankin' guitar, solid beats, majestic horns, tribal flutes, soothing vocals and live dub effects. All to make you dance! 

Polka Boy  - 5:45-7:15 pm

Combining traditional "Pennsylvania Polka” type numbers with oom-pah-ed up arrangements of pop songs like “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” and “She Blinded Me with Science,” an evening with Polka Boy is always the right balance of authenticity and kitsch. Polka Boy is well-known in Indianapolis as the best beer-band in town!

Cornmeal - 7:45-9 pm

Cornmeal continues to forge a path all their own, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass, Americana and folk for a whole new generation of music lovers. Steeped in tradition, Cornmeal uses bluegrass as a springboard for long improvisational work and songs ranging from country, rock and blues to jazz, funk and disco. Heavily influenced by American roots and folk music, Cornmeal is known for their vast musical repertoire, lightning fast tempos and impeccable harmonies. The five-piece acoustic-electric band prides itself on the energy it puts forth each night creating an unrivalled live performance.

Here Come the Mummies  - 9:30-11 pm

Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here . . .  For years, scholars of the ancient world have wondered what became of the lost nomadic tribe officially referred to as Expleticus Deletedicus.  Then, during a dig in 1922, it was discovered that: "They had rocked all the ancient empires of Earth on down to the grizound. They rocked Atlantis so hard, y'all, it ain't never been found."  More undead than Dick Clark, and cursed with the funk of five thousand years . . .  and now they're coming to rock your town with a funk so strong, it's gonna make all the cats explode. Strap in. Here Come the Mummies!
