The International Village has an incredible line up of dancers, music acts, stepping, poetry, costumes, and even a massive Electric Slide block.  If you don't know how, instruction for how to do this dance will be provided.  This mix of acts features a great cross~cultural sampling of what our area offers.  So be sure to swing by the International Village, plan to stay for awhile!

The Celtic Village allows you to explore the Irish, Welsh, and Scottish heritage.  These folks are friendly and are willing to share whatever you wish to learn, as they've a wealth of knowledge and deep roots.  Keep an eye out for their marching ensemble throughout the day and throughout the festival!

The Children's Village features hands~on activities for those young at heart!  This entire village focuses on the smaller members of your family; providing fun, while educating young minds {we won't tell them that they are actually learning}.  Stop by to see the trains and drums!
