ISLAND MUSICIANS
Under the direction of JULIAN HAGEN and CINDRA HOKKANEN

Washington Island Music Festival is proud to present "Under the Big Top," an evening of fun, music, monologues and humor, featuring Island talent, whether year-round, seasonal, or "here on vacation." Julian Hagen has co-ordinated Under the Big Top since 1996, working over the years with favorite Island emcees Cindra Hokkanen, Jay Hagen and Dan Baker to line up performers, organize the program and run the show. Tonight join Julian and Cindra and fellow performers for an enjoyable open-air concert that will entertain you from the first number to the last, when we say "Good night" by joining together to sing Julian's Island anthem, "Northern Lights."
Events will be held in the Community Center Gymnasium unless otherwise noted.
