2014 Capital Hill People’s Fair to Take Place June 7-8
by Andrea Furness
The CHUN Capitol Hill People’s Fair – an art and music festival – returns to Denver’s Civic Center Park onSaturday, June 7 (10am-8pm) and Sunday, June 8 (10am-7pm) featuring handcrafted art, live local music, delicious festival food, a wine pavilion, the People’s Fair “Green Space” with sustainability-focused vendors, a non-profit showcase, a family area with carnival rides and kids crafts and more! Volunteers are still needed to help with set-up, tear-down, and a variety of other jobs – sign up online to volunteer (www.peoplesfair.com).
The entertainment lineup for this year’s festival will be released shortly (watch our website!), and it includes great familiar acts such as P-Nuckle, The Fabulous Boogienauts, Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts, and Monroe Monroe, as well as some fun new ones that auditioned at the UMX (Ultimate Music Xperience) in March.
One standout group that will be performing at the People’s Fair is Our Generation – a five-piece Classic Rock cover band comprised of 10-14 year old musicians that was put together within the last year by a company called Band Dynamics. The lead vocalist and the guitar player are siblings named Abbey and Jude (aptly named after two Beatles songs “Abbey Road” and “Hey Jude”). Our Generation gathers their influence from bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters and Fallout Boy. This high-energy band packed the house at the UMX!
Join us June 7 and 8 for a celebration of community and kick-off to the summer festival season! The People’s Fair truly offers something for everyone! Admission is FREE!! For more information, please visitwww.peoplesfair.com.
