This Weekend: It's Ragtime Time, Baby!

Mike Paulus |

Get geared up for days two and three of the Eau Claire Ragtime Festival – the Valley’s premier ragtime-based event. If you like ragtime music, well, quite frankly, you’d be an insane idiot to not attend some part, if not all of the Ragtime Fest. And we mean that. We seriously mean that.

Anyhoo, RagFest started yesterday, but there’s a whole lot left. Besides the pre-concerts, afterglows, dinners, concessions, piano lounges, sing-a-longs, root beer floats, silent films, extreme open piano, and other festivities throughout the weekend, you can look forward to Saturday’s main concerts: Pianos on Fire at 2pm and A Night in the Barrelhouse at 7pm.

And, goodness, let’s not forget about Sunday’s ragtime worship. See the fest’s website for a full schedule of ragtime awesome.
