If you’ve ever wanted to take a walk in the woods and be accompanied by the sounds of live folk and americana music, you’re going to want to set aside next Friday night for Urbana Park District’s Roots Walk.
The walk, which lasts from 6 – 8 pm at Urbana’s Crystal Lake Park, will feature a plethora of local musicians scattered throughout the park at various positions and will be just in time for sunset.
