As you may have heard, there’s a rather major international Vintage Band Festival happening this weekend in Northfield (see the previous post for more information).  However, there’s also a nationally acclaimed cello recital series going on up on the western hill.  And there’s the usual mix of popular music, theater, and visual art to round it out.  So there’s a variety of artistic offerings for your cultural experiencing…in downtown Northfield, MN.
