These 1,000,000 visitors (100,000 daily) are subject to somehwere between 700 and 1,000 free shows at the festival with one main pay venue each night. In 2005, headlining guests included George Thoroughgood , Jethro Tull , and George Clinton And The Parliament Funkadelic . But music makes up only half of the what makes musikfest fantastic. Food is the star of the show from the time booths open at noon to the shut down each night at about 10:45pm. Every ethnicity is repesented and everyone leaves with a full, happy stomach Local German roots are a foundation of this celebration of music and each of the several venues' names end in the German word for place, "platz". A popular place for eating and listening to music is the large "Festplatz" that covers 300 dining tables and usually features a polka band. Appearing Artists
