Barbershop quartets, jugglers and clowns will be strolling the grounds, along with Liza and Mark Woolever, playing folk songs and bluegrass breakdowns, to delight children and adults as they shop nearly 300 artists and crafters from every corner of the country, according to a news release. Visitors relax under the shade of tents while musicians, dancers, marionettes, and magicians entertain on three stages and in the entertainment tent during the event.
Whether it be the old time banjo tunes of the Knock Knock Hoosier String Band, the line dancers of Tri-County Kickers, Inclognito Cloggers or square dancers, the rhythms and steps won’t be that much different than they were over 50 years ago on the streets of Nappanee when the festival was first started, the release states.
In the entertainment tent, La Monte’s Gray Horse Band will showcase La Monte Heflick of Granger. Due Process will play popular country and classic numbers each of the four days of the event and there will be a worship service at the beginning of the festival on Aug. 6.
Children take center stage as the Stephen Gubi Children’s Entertainment Tent will once again feature Stevens’ Puppets Marionettes and the story of Aladin. Ken Ernsberger will be in the children’s entertainment tent with his magic show.
To top off the festivities, Amish Acres will be offering its tours, rides, shops, family-style restaurant and beer garden.
The Round Barn Theatre will have a busy schedule during the four-day festival, showing five performances of “Guys & Dolls,” along with one performance of the Broadway musical “Plain and Fancy.” In addition, song selections from both shows performed by The Round Barn Theatre cast will be presented on the outdoor Americana on Parade Stage.
