EVENT
OVERVIEW
The basic overview of LIAC
There are three main venues for the festival: the Festhalle, Grange Hall, and the Gazebo.
​
The Festhalle will be used for the competition, concerts, and vendor displays in the foyer.
​
The Grange Hall will be used as the education center. It has two floors…the upper floor will have a performance space for all levels of performers; we will offer workshops, CD sales, sheet music sales, other vendor displays. The lower level will be used for workshops and free accordion lessons
​
The Gazebo is a great place to perform outdoors for tourists and accordion friends. We have a sign-up sheet with 15 min. slots where accordionists may perform. In late afternoon on Friday and Saturday, the Gazebo Ensemble will perform. For information on the Gazebo Ensemble, go to Performances/Gazebo Schedule on this website.
​
In addition, we expect to schedule some professional accordionists/groups in restaurants during the dinner hour. Later in the evening, we look forward to the spontaneous jam sessions that can’t be beat.
