2011 3-Day Music Lineup:
Andy Clockwise, The Fling, White Arrows, Vaud & The Villains, The Taiko Project, He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister, Shadow Shadow Shade, Eastern Conference Champions, Light FM, Deap Vally, Judson McKinney, The Damselles & TC4, Berlin featuring Terri Nunn, Lady Dottie & The Diamonds, Little Ones, Dante vs. Zombie, Devon Eisenbarger

Alongside a stellar music lineup the festival is adding a bunch of food truck options this year. Hm, shame on you if you go to a Lobster Festival and eat from a truck without eating the actual Lobster the festival was built upon, nothing against food trucks per se but there is a time and a place for them. Do as you will; the trucks will be there.

We have general admission as well as VIP (3-day + lobster) packages to sling at this time; all winners will be drawn at random. Please include your name and mailing address when entering to win, as these are hard tickets and will be mailed in a timely fashion. Good luck!

Chhom @ Outside Lands by Sung

DENGUE FEVER (http://www.denguefevermusic.com) band members Zac Holtzman, Senon Williams and Chhom Nimol.

WHAT:
A bike ride photo and interview opportunity.

Friday, September 9
2:00 pm: Photo opp
2:30 pm: Short bike ride around MacArthur Park
3:00 pm: Lunch

DENGUE FEVER is playing a free show at Fingerprints at 7 p.m.

WHERE:
The back of Homeland Cultural Center at the graffiti wall, MacArthur Park (1321 E. Anaheim St.). Lunch immediately following at Grand Paradise Restaurant (1350 E. Anaheim St.).

WHY:
The band will take a whirl on Cambodia Town’s new cargo bike and commuter bikes to bring attention to Cambodia Town and the unadulterated fun of bicycling. The event is open to the public — who are invited to arrive via bicycle. Members of the media and the public are invited to dine at the restaurant via individual reservations or first come, first served.

Cambodia Town is one of four Bike-Friendly Business Districts (BFBDs) in Long Beach, intended to encourage merchants and their customers to choose bikes, not cars, for short trips. The districts each have cargo and commuter bikes for merchant errands and offer bicyclists discounts every Saturday through the new Bike Saturdays program, free bike repairs, bike valets at events, and more. The BFBD program is made possible by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the City of Long Beach.
