A note about our 2010 Lotus Festival dates and Yom Kippur:
We wish we had freedom to pick any September or early October weekend for our festival; however, this isn't so. We must pick dates without an IU home football game (every hotel is booked solid); we must also synch dates with other Midwest world music festivals, with whom we collaborate to book artists (all are in September). For 2010, the only available weekend within our festival window was September 16-19, which unfortunately coincides with Yom Kippur. We sincerely apologize to our Jewish fans.
