Organ Grinders and collectors from several states will showcase hand cranked street organs along the lakefront Saturday and Sunday. Instruments will range from antiques to brand new; and will feature music stored with and played from technologies including pinned wooden barrels, punched cardboard books, paper rolls and MIDI files on SD memory cards. Many of the instruments were built in Germany. Learn about these instruments and enjoy a song – be it a traditional German tune or a Lady Gaga hit – by visiting us along the lakefront walkway. Most organ owners are members of the Carousel Organ Association of America (COAA). Visit their website at COAA.us for more information.
