Caroga Arts Collective Announces 2023 Caroga Lake Music Festival Programming

Caroga Arts will present more than 35 performances, featuring over 125 artists, and offer music education programming to community members of all ages.

The lineup will include notable guest artists Judy Collins, Baha Men, and The War and Treaty making their CLMF debut. For the second time in its 12-year history, this year’s festival will include a full symphony performed conductorless by the Caroga Arts Ensemble —Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony.

Caroga Arts is proud to call Sherman’s Park—the historic and much-loved former amusement park—its home. With the majority of CLMF concerts held on Sherman’s Park’s lakeside lawn or in its classic dance hall, guests can enjoy an idyllic setting while taking in performances from world-renowned artists. The George and Ruth Abdella Carousel will also be open for riders of all ages before every CLMF concert at Sherman’s Park this season. In addition to collaborations at Sherman’s Park, CLMF resident artists will be featured at partnering venues and festivals across the region as part of CLMF on Tour performances.

For the first time ever, Caroga Arts is offering a 2023 season pass, with discounted premium seats. To learn more about Caroga Arts, see the 2023 schedule, and reserve tickets, please visit HERE.
