The Festival of Legends is a family-friendly event that will host a variety of different entertainers (musicians, magicians, jugglers, acrobats, comedians, etc.) and artists selling their wares. Themes of the event include mythology, folklore, fairy tales and fantasy. The event is open to the public with paid admission (ticket prices will be between $11 and $15). This will be my first year officially performing and not just dancing in the grass. I am excited to be performing with The Lost Nomads. We will be at the main stage both Saturday and Sunday at 10:45am and 4:15 pm

So because one day was not enough of the International Festival, we went back for a second day. The crowd was lighter, but I still managed to get some people up dancing for my demo. Afterwards, I headed over to see the Lost Nomads. They sounded fabulous!! Even got to get up and dance and got a couple kids up dancing too.

This was my 3rd year performing at this festival and it is always so much fun. When we arrived at the stage it was pretty empty, as the performers before us canceled. I got out my veil and danced some in front of the Demo Stage area to try and draw a crowd. People passing by wanted photos and I was happy to pose! By the time, my demo started we had a nice enthusiastic crowd. They worked hard and one lucky lady won a coin scarf during the Shimmy contest.

I am so excited for this event this weekend. I really miss performing at the NC Rennaissance faire, where I danced with Colorful Waves Bellydance Troupe. It was always one of my favorite events and I really miss it. The Festival of Legends is a new festival but they need everyone’s support to keep it going. The weather looks to be nice, so check it out this weekend
