HUGE hat tip to Danbury's Pete Walrath and Sean Morits. I stil can't believe these guys are bringing George Clintion to Danbury this weekend (and the show is free)!
George Clinton will headline a three-day music festival this weekend, featuring a free concert by the legendary funk musician and his band, Parliament Funkadelic.
Presented by Hat City Entertainment, the festival runs today through Sunday. Organizers expect 2,000 people to spend the weekend dancing on the Danbury Green.
"Who better than the master of funk himself?" asked concert organizer Sean Morits.
Morits and Pete Walrath are partners in Hat City Entertainment, which produces music events at several downtown venues.
"We want to give Danbury residents a great time and draw in fans from outside the area," Morits said.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
