2nd ANNUAL DIRTY DANCING FESTIVAL AT LAKE LURE
The Festival is Back by Popular Demand for its Second Year!
September 16-18, 2011, Lake Lure North Carolina
LAKE LURE, N.C. (July 11, 2011): In September of 2010, the Dirty Dancing Festival debuted in Lake Lure, North
Carolina where much of the classic movie Dirty Dancing was filmed. The weekend long festival was a huge success
amongst fans of the movie and music and dance enthusiasts across the country. The festival was attended by people from
24 U.S. states and two foreign countries, and it was only a few days after the festival ended that inquiries began pouring in
requesting 2011 festival dates. So back by popular demand, the 2nd Annual Dirty Dancing Festival at Lake Lure will take
place September 16-18, 2011!
This year’s festival will feature a Lakeside Screening of Dirty Dancing at Firefly Cove, a Daytime Dance Festival,
a Lakeside Concert with VIP Dinner option, and a charity golf tournament on the golf course featured in the movie.
Attendees are encouraged to come to scenic Lake Lure to dance, eat, drink, golf, enjoy great live music, attempt their
own ‘Lake Lift,’ carry a watermelon or two, and ultimately have the ‘Time of Their Lives!’ Below is a schedule of the
festival’s events.
