Date Correction: LUMMIS DAY FESTIVAL is Sunday, June 2, 2013

.
.
The Guide mistakenly listed this fine, fun, FREE annual festival on the wrong weekend, owing to faulty source material.
.
LUMMIS DAY happens Sunday, June 2, the same day as these other festivals:
.
• CELTIC ROOTS FESTIVAL (Jun 2, Pasadena)
• BEVERLY GLEN STREET FAIR (Jun 2, NoHo)
• BRILLIANT STRINGS (Jun 2, L.A.)
.
Info on those other festivals and literally hundreds of other live music performances and events are in the latest full update of the Guide. It's right here at a separate click:

Severin Browne explains, "This annual festival honors local historical figure Charles Lummis. For those of you who have driven north on the Pasadena Freeway between Downtown L.A. and Pasadena, you may have noticed a group of old historic houses on the east side of the road. That is Heritage Square. All those old houses were moved there from their original locations to be preserved and to act as a museum. And there will be a few stages with lots of music, puppet shows, dance troupes, and fun for the whole family."
+
The Guide concurs, it is indeed fun, and a good opportunity to get tours and inside peeks of the preserved train station, recently-opened vintage drugstore, old houses, print shop, and more. Good food available, too.
+
The Lummis Day Festival is presented by the Lummis Day Community Foundation. The group celebrates the arts, history and ethnic diversity of Northeast Los Angeles through educational and cultural events and the annual Festival.
