A Musical Journey Around the World
The cultural theme for this year's festival was "A Musical Journey Around the World". Next year's theme will be "Wedding Traditions Around the World".
Sukay--Music of the Andes
With deep sounding pipes, haunting flutes and fast-paced rhythms played on a guitar-like instrument made from the shell of an armadillo, SUKAY creates an ethereal, pulsating sound that fills listeners with the energy and strenth of the Andes Mountains.
This special entertainment was provided by DIFI with support by the Ohio Arts Council and the Montgomery County Arts and Culture District.
Soloists from the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra performed on the Formal Stage on Saturday in celebration of "A Musical Journey Around the World"
Kenya Safari Acrobats
The World's premier African Acrobats returned in 2010; hailing from Mombassa Kenya, this unbelievable group will leave you astounded and amazed at their extraordinary feats of acrobatics.
The Kenya Safari Acrobats performed during the day and evening on Saturday and Sunday.
A World A'Fair Passports
The Passport program, inaugurated in 2007, was done again this year. Each child visiting the Festival will receive a passport that will be stamped at each booth as he travels the world at this festival.
