Every year the AIP line-up for the World Music Stage is richer and more wonderful, to the point that as many visitors come for the music as for the visual art.

 

Music from Japan to Africa, Brazil to India, there’s a sound for everyone.  Returning this year is Al-Andalus, a world –renowned group creating an andalusian style that is a mix of music from the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.

Also on stage will be Hank Araki who is a master of all things flute, Japanese and Celtic. Check the schedule and plan on enjoying the tunes!

Newly named the Hands On Art Pavilion, four tents will feature activities for kids and kids at heart this year.  See great art and talk to the artists, but also MAKE some yourself!  Free that inner child (and the kid at your side who wants to mess with stuff)!  Here are some choices (or do it ALL!)
