Greenbelt will mark the 27th anniversary of the New Deal Café on Saturday, Oct. 8, with a free music festival.

The Crazy Quilt Music Festival will feature music, dancing, special activities for kids and lots and lots of bubbles, starting at 11 a.m. outdoors at the Roosevelt Center, moving indoors to the cafe at 8 p.m. and ending at 11 p.m.

The lineup includes a Community Drum Circle with Katy Gaughan, folk band Grief Cat, bluegrass from Rock Creek Revival, Dirty Soul playing the blues, world music from Dogo Du Togo, brass party grooves from Black Masala and classic rock from Just Stones.

For kids, there will be a special art project and chalk drawings on the sidewalk. Families can also enjoy the BYOBB (Bring Your Own Bubble Blaster) using toys that “shoot” bubbles and a surprise appearance.

Vendors will also be on site and an original Eleanor Roosevelt festival T-shirt will be available in multiple colors and sizes.
