The main event will begin at 10am on Saturday, 5/17 and continue until 5pm. The stage will feature a variety of music and dance performances including Cor Rehoboth, the Chinese Cultural and Arts Institute of Harrisburg, York’s own Dwennimen African Dance Company, Lancaster’s Pasion Tropical, and the Susquehanna Travellers. Also on the green, the Gray Cloud Singers will be hosting a traditional Powwow with Native drummers and dancers from several tribes and clans competing for prizes.
Feats of strength will be on display as local competitors test their skill at some traditional Highland Games such as the caber toss, hammer throw, and even tug-o-war. There will also be some ethnic foods to tempt the palate and plenty of things to buy in the vendor area.
