Native Rhythms Festival

Schedule

2012 Schedule of Activities

Thursday, November 8:

Site Set-Up: (9:00 - 6:00) Vendors check in and set up booths at the festival grounds.

6:00 PM - ???: The Native Rhythms Festival organizing committee is sponsoring an informal "Meet & Greet" reception at the Candlewood Suites. A pasta dinner, prepared by local chef Deborah Buza, will be served. Entertainment will consist of unscripted performances by some of our very talented performers. A "donation" of $10 per person will be collected at the door. This is planned as a "fund raiser" to help cover some of the costs of putting on this year's Native Rhythms. All are invited.

Friday, November 9 - Sunday, November 11:
