Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Head on down to the creek for the Nippersink Music and Arts Festival. The lineup of folk, Americana, bluegrass and rock includes headliners Tea Leaf Green, Family Groove Company, Henhouse Prowlers and Pert Near Sandstone.
Why go: The Nippersink Creek offers a beautiful Fox River setting to hear some banjo, fiddle and rock jams, and to take in a few arts and crafts. You can even paddle up to the fest in a canoe!
Reconsider: A festival by a creek in Spring Grove is a little too rural for your taste.
Details: 8 a.m. Friday through 2 p.m. Sunday on Nippersink Creek, 3319 E. Solon Road, Spring Grove; $40-$75; nippersinkfestival.com
