Moveable FeastAmidst the Festival’s kaleidoscope of colour and activity, children will be intrigued by the elegance and refinement of Darrin Hagen and Linda Karenko’s ghostly white-clad Victorian couple. Friendly and inquisitive, these turn-of-the-century tourists silently wander the site looking for a place to have a quiet picnic. Take a photo or sit and “lunch” with the couple on their invisible carte du jour — all you need to bring is your imagination! Be on the lookout for Linda as one of her other personalities Sheriff Winnie Dean deputizing Festival citizens or the mystifying Madame de la Loon predicting fortunes! Darrin can also be found strolling the Festival site, serenading people with his accordion. He loves taking musical requests and can even play your favourite song — accordion-style! |
Dan The One Man BandGuitar, drum, cymbals, tambourine, harmonica, kazoo, egg shaker, bells…is there any instrument this guy can’t play? Dan the One Man Band leaves audiences spellbound as he stomps, strums, blows, shakes and sings a smorgasbord of songs in five languages! Dan is dandy at keeping audiences groovin’ and giggling with his spontaneous, energetic and funny roving performances!
