LOWELL — A little after 10 a.m. Saturday, the preparations for another day of the Lowell Folk Festival had begun with about two hours to go until the official start time of Day 2. Stage techs could be heard setting up and checking the sound equipment for the second day’s musical acts, volunteers bustled around making sure everything was squared away and, most importantly, a faint, smoky haze loomed over Downtown Lowell as groups fired up their grills to start making another day’s worth of food from around the world.
