We kicked off the second week of the Festival after a two-day break. We bade fond farewell to several participants, and we welcomed a number of new ones–in particular, to the Will to Adorn and One World, Many Voices programs.

Though a bit muddy underfoot, a rainy day turned into a very nice one with bearable temperatures. And the Festival site was once again hopping with lots of activity and sound. Looking forward to more great performances, workshops, and demonstrations.
