2 months ago.What can you do for $5 a day that benefits bats? This year’s Batfest moves west to the South First Street Bridge and features nearly 30 bands, as well as 150 booths bustling with arts and crafts. Local bats include Dr. Zog, Sounds Under Radio, Carolyn Wonderland, Paula Nelson, the Jolly Garogers, and Kissinger, while those with a taste for dinosaur meat should enjoy Edgar Winter, Mahogany Rush, the Bodeans, and the Supersuckers. – Jim Caligiuri
