Flights and Sounds Summer Finale to Feature Bollywood and Easy Star All-Stars at...

Get ready to step into the world of glitz and glamour of Bollywood, made popular by the movie "Slum Dog Millionaire."    Dance and enjoy the soul of reggae with the Great Park's reggae fest featuring Easy Star All-Stars.  It's all happening at the Flights and Sounds of Summer dance and concert series season finale this weekend at the Orange County Great Park.  Start your weekend fun at the Orange County Great Park Friday, September 25th, with an incredible Bollywood  blowout at 8:00 p.m.  A special night of fun with exuberant Bollywood dance demonstrations, step-by-step instructions and simple choreography for all to follow, a party atmosphere and, of course, those irresistible dance rhythms.  Comedians Matt Balaker and Aristotle Athiras will open the evening at 7:00 p.m. at the Great Park Comedy Corner.   The weekend fun continues Saturday, September 26th with Easy Star All-Stars.  The Easy Star All-Stars are the very soul of reggae.  Almost anybody can sing along to their favorite tunes, but only an artist can take something familiar and make it entirely their own, exploring the heart of the work and taking it to a new and different place. That's what you'll hear on the "Lonely Hearts" tour, plus Easy Star originals in our reggae fest conclusion to the summer concert series  The Comedy Corner features Patrick Keane who appeared on the Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and Kristian Vallee who appeared on Comedy Central and the Tonight Show will kick off the evening at 7:00 p.m.  "The Great Park summer dance and concert performance season finale winds up a simply incredible dance and concert series," said Larry Agran, Chair of the Orange County Great Park Corporation.
