About

BradFest celebrates the life of an extraordinary, beloved friend and family member and talented local musician with a fun-filled weekend of music. Take a look at this footage from the first annual BradFest in 2010:

BradFest is an annual showcase of local and regional talent, a homecoming for native Northern Minnesotan musicians and fans, and an opportunity to raise money to support local musicians—all while having a blast together on the beautiful North Shore of Lake Superior. BradFest 2011 included a jam-packed lineup of music, belly-dancing and other entertainment, tasty food and refreshments, and a silent auction with an abundance of local products and crafts made by talented Minnesota artists. In keeping with Brad’s spirit and unique outlook on life, BradFest is always infused with a bit of absurdity and lots of laughter.

BradFest is organized by the Friends of Brad Memorial Foundation. Friends of Brad, like its namesake, is inspired and driven by the power of music to touch and shape our lives. See Brad in action, sharing music with others.
