The Weekend of the Bells
 June 3 – 4
10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The Weekend of the Bells showcases the Theodore C. Butz Memorial Carillon, one of the few hand-played carillons in the nation.
Enjoy concerts, tours and talks on the history of carillons around the world by carilloneurs Wylie Crawford and Ellen Dickinson.
