Entertainment Schedule
Look for the 2012 Entertainment Schedule towards late May or early June. Below is a review of the 2011 Market Entertainment Schedule to give you a sense of the entertainment at the Market.
2011 Market Entertainment Schedule:
The 2011 line-up featured great acts like the all-star West African Highlife Band, who played a fusion of African roots and western music, popular since its beginnings in the early 20th century. We welcomed the Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Monestary, as well as dance and music from the Al Najoom Troupe from Oman. . . complete with drums and bagpipes (yes, bagpipes!).
