Light Up the Lake at Solst-ish Kinetics Festival
The City of Longmont and Kineticists proudly sponsor this fun, family-friendly event at Union Reservoir, 0461 WCR 26, that provides unique entertainment in the form of human-powered Kinetic Sculptures. From 11 am to 9 pm on Saturday, June 24, enjoy the Kinetics Sculpture Race, the Kid’s Recycled Raft Race, live music, food, beer, the Solstice Swim, and Sculpture Burn with drumming at dusk. New this year is the Simple Craft division of the Kinetics Race. Participants can decorate their kayak, canoe, or paddle board and traverse the same land and water course as the regular sculptures.
