Rolling into town Saturday is the Ginger Ninja’s Bicycle Music Festival, a caravan of spinning
spokes and improvised sound that will utilize nary an outlet to amplify its eco-friendly rock ‘n’
roll. The festival, featuring music from Reeble Jar, Insects on the Bough, Tobin (pictured) & more,
starts at the Southtowne Shoppes and will wheel through Eugene — complete with a mobile “Live
On Bike” stage and a 2,000-watt pedal-powered PA — until it ends in a Ninkasi-fueled after party
off the River Road bike path.

EUGENE WEEKLY
What do Knut Hamsun, pickled herring, Husker Du, gjetost, lutefi sk, accordion music, socialized health care & death metal all
have in common? They are but a sample of the fi ne offerings Scandinavian culture has gifted to our wide world, and you can help
celebrate this past and present heritage at the Scandinavian Festival running Aug. 13-16 in nearby Junction City. This party for all
things Nordic and Swedish and Finnish will feature crafts, food, a fashion show, dancing, music and, of course, the fabled Scandia
Run.
