It brings us much joy to have musical artist and creator Laren Loveless to Macklind Days 2025! His sounds and bubbly/ creative artistry will be a great addition to the spirit of Groovy Town U.S.A.! He shares news of his participation:
“BIG NEWS! Join us Saturday, September 27th, from 12:30 to 2:30 PM at Macklind Days for a Groovy Family Concert.
Wear your best groovy gear — think tie-dye, bell bottoms, peace signs, and flower power — and dance along to tunes that’ll have everyone smiling and moving.
This is one of South City’s favorite days of the year, and music will make it even more magical!”
