Our kids were performing in Missouri, inside the path of the full eclipse.
We love watching their performances, and hanging out with the grand fairies, so we packed up our little camper (I call it the world's biggest rolling suitcase, instead of the world's smallest camper) and headed toward the Darkening of the Sun.
Most of the family goes early to set up the village and rigs. So we had little ones all week, for back to school and Sugarwings' birthday too.
Which was pretty nice for us.
There is a ton of work to be done, this group doesn't just show up, do some tricks and leave, they set up an entire world of their own inside the music festival. They've got two 23' high rigs, that get covered in parachutes for shade, and multi colored lights for rainbow fun. There is a geodesic dome for sound therapy, and another big tent for workshops and then there is a vending area too.
It is all done artistically, and comes out quite beautiful when they are done.
As I walked through the venue, I realized that these guys had transformed the entire event into something really spectacular.
I'd been to festivals they throw themselves, so had seen their set up before, but had not really seen just how much they do at other people's events. (this photo is just part of the set up)
Of course, they also bring some great entertainment to fill those tents!
The show just gets bigger and more exciting every time I see it.
They have the two rigs with aerialists in each, fire dancers, hula hoopers, a guy on stilts, and dancers floating about, as well as my son spinning his songs.
Plus, there are workshops all weekend for attendees of the festival, who get to show off what they learned on the last night. It is adorable to see they little ones up there feeling proud of their accomplishments and being part of the circus.
All of the parents and grand parents out in the audience, enjoy that showcase as much as I do, I'm sure.
Well, it is all great to watch!
Next to the Sacred Circus was the main stage, and my husband spent a lot of time there. His favorite performer was the headliner, so he was pretty happy. Even happier when he had a fairy to perch on his shoulders to watch with him.
Of course, times without a kiddo climbing on him over the weekend were few and far between.
I'll leave you with some more photos from the parties. This is my son with his crystal singing bowls. (I'd love to sneak one away and fill it with water, fish, and a fountain for my back yard, these bowls are beautiful up close)
I'll leave you with some photos of the party.
Beautiful !!!
Im always mesmerized by them!
