The ROGerKimLee Music Festival takes place this weekend, bringing many musicians to Eriksdale.

Derrick McCandless is an organizer for this event, who is happy to bring this festival that honors friends lost.

"This is the 4th official year. the first year was just a party for 4 of our friends who passed away, Roger Young, Kim Russel, and Lee Oreniuk."

McCandless feels proud to be able to keep the names of his dear friends alive through this festival, noting that they'd often joke around the campfire about being famous enough to have their names on posters, signs, radios, and festivals in the future.

This event will bring in musicians from across North America for performances, workshops, and more, to celebrate music and the music lovers that inspired this event.

The weekend in Eriksdale will feature music, markets, show and shine, food, kids' games, and so much more.

Sunday will also feature a breakfast, and a gospel performance from a group all the way from New Orleans.

It's sure to be a memorable and immersive live music experience within this intimate west interlake prairie community.
