Make it a party! Set your plans and create your own magic for an extra special evening on the water! Prep your party boat. Throw together some special boat party food. Invite fun boatmates. Shake up some special Sunset cocktails. Bring a drum or something to beat your rhythm. Decorate and ornament yourself and your boat!

Arrive early and get a good anchor spot in The Cow Cove...in plenty of time for the first artist....

  • Kick back when the music kicks off at 4pm

  • Be part of the drum circle - drumming from your boat with all boats and boaters part of a cove drum circle with Kennon Knight and Rhythm, Rhyme, Reason - remember, EVERYONE drums!

  • Welcome back The Wiggle Wagons, this year's winner of Bessie's Choice Award, who will be playing ALL 3 months!

  • This little newsletter is being produced to inspire and inform you about a unique event on The Waters of Wylie: a floating fest of music and rhythm, beauty and play!
  • The e-news helps you connect with the wonderfully willing artists and volunteers who help kick off this inaugural season of Lake Wylie Music Fest out of their love of what they share and their interest in being co-creators of this truly unique and innovative experience.
  • And hopefully you will also learn as you read, that YOU too are Fest co-creators because it is through your creative spirit and lively participation that a positively playful and artsy vibe will be born and resound on our Lake this Summer!

Q & A

Q ..... Where exactly is "The Cow Cove?"

A .... The Cow Cove is a name used by a friendly handful of people to describe a portion of Boyd's Cove. It's a no-wake area that some boaters sometimes anchor and raft together. Just past the no-wake buoys going toward the back of Boyd's Cove Bessie sits overlooking the Waters of Wylie and so she's given her portion of water it's neighborly name. If you're not sure where Boyd's Cove is, check out the map below. Boyd's Cove is outlined in hot pink and the itsy-bitsy Bessie's head is sitting about where the dock that will be center stage is (and, sorry folks in the other covelet, Bessie's hind quarters seem to be covering you up!). .....You can ignore the letters A, B, and E which have to do with boat access areas.

 

And if you are so inclined, we think these are the coordinates...based on some Googling around...

Latitude 35.086219

Longitude -81.036409

 

Q .... How much does this cost? Who makes this really cool and free event possible?

A .... It's a FREE community event! With a small handful of dedicated creators, a smattering of volunteer effort, plus a few corporate and individual sponsors (see links to right,) Lake Wylie Music Fest was born in 2010. Much more support is needed to keep this innovative option available for the future. Please contact us to volunteer or contribute!

 

Q .... Is it "family-friendly?"

A .... While the music selection and focus is primarily on adults partying on boats, there is no reason the whole family shouldn't attend. Just remember the fun flavor of Lake Wylie's "River Rats!"
