The Third Annual Midwest Mandolin Festival was held June 2, 2007, at the marina at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis ! 11:00 am - 9:00 pm. This was a great venue for the festival ! It was free with paid admission to the park, presented by the Mandolin Society of Central Indiana and sponsored by Frank's Violins and Mark's Fret Shop.

Thanks to all of you who came to join us for a wide variety of acoustic music featuring the mandolin in a beautiful park setting.
