Friday, May 29, The festival will start Friday evening at 7 p.m. with a party and introduction of teachers in the ballroom. There will be a Kafana with live music by Dromia in the Recital Hall. An Afterparty will follow at the Folk Dance Center. There will be a van to shuttle people to the FDC and back so people do not have to worry about parking.  

Saturday, May 30, During the morning and afternoon our great master teachers: Yves Moreau, will teach dances from Bulgaria and Richard Powers will teach vintage dances. France Bourque-Moreau will teach a special workshop for teachers. During the lunch break you may attend the Installation Lunch (must be pre-ordered with advance registration) in the Santa Fe room at the facility or enjoy lunch on your own. There will be catered food available for purchase and you can eat at the park and not have to get in your car and drive.

In the evening, we will have an exciting dance party with live music by Eastern Exposure. Following the evening dance party, we'll gather at the Folk Dance Center for an Ice Cream Social and afterparty. Once again there will be a van to shuttle people back and forth to the Folk Dance Center.

Sunday, May 31, Sunday morning the teachers will review the dances taught on Saturday.  After a break for lunch will be a concert followed by another dance party.
