Pictures of the Festival: Saturday August 20, 2011

Today was the first day of the 2011 Midwest Folklife Festival at Folklore Village in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. The Festival continues tomorrow Sunday August 21st and is FREE! We have artists coming from all over the Midwest to share their stories, heritage and traditions with us. Here are some photos from today's happenings!

We had many wonderful artists come to sing, play and dance for the Festival...

We also had artists come to demonstrate their artwork...

And even had delicious food ways demonstrations!

It was a lovely day at Folklore Village! The sun was shining and we had incredible artists come to share their art with us! A short rain shower happened upon us at the end of the Festival and gave us a double rainbow right above Folklore Village!
