Dan Emmett Music & Arts Festival, August 7-10, 2008

This year, the Dan Emmett Music & Arts Festival will begin its 21st year of performances and activities in Downtown Mount Vernon. The Festival is a celebration of American music commemorating Mount Vernon's own Daniel Decatur Emmett, the author and composer of many 19th century songs. Emmett's tunes, such as Dixie, Blue Tail Fly, Ole Dan Tucker, and Turkey in the Straw, bring back the nostalgia of our heritage in each of our hearts.

The Dan Emmett Music & Arts Festival is pleased to announce Micky Dolenz of The Monkees will be performing at the 2008 Dan Emmett Music & Arts Festival on Saturday evening, August 9th.
