FUSION Music Festival is returning to Lodi Lake Park this weekend with live music, food trucks, and drinks.
The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 29. Gates will open at 10:30 a.m.
“This is a music festival. Lodi typically has wine-themed events, Zinefest, the grape festival , all around their wine culture. We’re trying to change that a little bit,” Ralph P. Cesena Jr., executive director of FUSION Music Festival, told The Stockton Record. “The focus here is music. Kids under 18 are allowed to come in with a ticketed adult and it is truly a family-friendly event that doesn’t just focus on wine, but it also still honors our wine heritage.”
The event is presented by the Lodi Sunrise Rotary Club, the Lodi Rotary Club, the Lodi-Tokay Rotary Club, and the Kiwanis Club Greater Lodi Foundation. Event sponsors include Michael David Winery, Five Window Beer Co., Tia Linda’s Margarita, among others.
This year’s entertainment will include six live bands performing throughout the day. The opening act includes Funk Tim and Brandon at the Wine & Beer Alley stage. Entertainment will begin at noon at the Tribute Stage with AGENTs of Rock and the event will end on the Tribute Stage with Dog N Butterfly.
