Summer Park Concert featuring Kicks Band of Fargo Moorhead

Date: 18 July 2025
Time: 07:00 pm
In addition to performing throughout the year – including free summer concerts and a jazz festival in the park – the Kicks Band is dedicated to jazz arts education. That’s why they started offering High School Artist Residencies in 2014 to high schools around the region and organize the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo All-City High School Jazz Band Festival. The Residencies include small group master classes and side-by-side playing with the Kicks Band musicians, while the Festival allows each city’s high schools to show off their musical talent.

Founded in 1975 by Edward Christianson, the organization was created so that musicians could enjoy music socializing, playing great big band literature and improvising jazz. They met on a Saturday morning, once a month – just for “kicks.” Since 2014, the Band’s focus has shifted towards performance and jazz arts education. Today the 17-member band roster includes professional musicians and music educators, all dedicated to performing and performing America’s original art form, jazz.

Weaving for Zen Sake

Wed Jul 23rd 12:00pm - 3:00pm

Historic Holmes Theatre, 806 Summit Ave, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501, USA  

Weaving for Zen Sake

July 23rd, 12-3 pm

This hands-on, interactive weaving class introduces the basics of weaving on a loom and the self-soothing,

Zen benefits!

Learning includes:

• Warping the loom.

• A variety of weaving stitches and techniques.

• How to design with various yarns, fibers, and natural elements.

• How to remove any (future) art from the loom and finish it off, making it worthy of display.

• All supplies are provided. You may bring your loom if you have one.

• A display of finished weavings for technique inspiration and purchase.

Participants will work with materials and supplies to gain an understanding of the craft of loom weaving. Dana will recommend resources to further evolve weaving on your own! This course is a basic introduction to the craft, to help you decide what to make in the future. Although you won’t have a finished project to take home, you will learn the basics of weaving projects, including wall decor, coasters, amulets, bracelets, and placemats, depending on your interests.

Oh and…..What’s the zen bit? Glad you asked!

Weaving has been an immersive Zen experience for me. When life presents challenges from which I need to escape and self-soothe, weaving has been a soulful adventure! I have intuited many ‘lessons about life’ from my weaving journey that I will share with you in the hopes that you will benefit from the joy, creativity, and wisdom that weaving offers. Expect to experience an inspiring class with a playful and positive vibe!

Workshop 16+/All Materials included/ Must pre-register for class/ for beginners

To view examples of gorgeous weavings by an advanced fiber artist (my sister in Kansas, who is self-taught and masterful) visit Facebook: Swayed Moon Weavings.
