INTERNATIONAL VILLAGE – CELEBRATING CULTURES
Don’t have 180 days to go around the world? Then come to the International Village and visit seven countries in minutes! Begin your tour by picking up your passport at the Customs Tent and then begin your journey in the “countries” tent and make crafts pertaining to festivals from around the world. You will make a wooden bead bracelet in Kenya, a morocco in Brazil, a beautiful chinese lantern in China, a rain stick while in Chili, a shamrock for good luck in Ireland and the conclusion of the trip will be the “crown jewel” as you make a tiara and crown. When you have completed your trip, take your stamped passport back to Customs for a surprise. While you are here, visit the Clinton Library and Heifer Village and enjoy all the other fun activities.
HEIFER VILLAGE
At Heifer Village, students can play with hands-on exhibits while learning about different living conditions around the world and solutions to hunger and poverty. Heifer Village teaches people about the wider world, so that they can become thoughtful members of the global community. It’s the curiosity and caring of regular families that enables Heifer to fight hunger and poverty around the world, starting right here in Arkansas. Heifer Village will maintain regular business hours during Riverfest and is always free to the general public.
JESSE WHITE TUMBLERS & KENYA SAFARI ACROBATS
You won’t want to miss the most exciting tumbling team in America: the Jesse White Tumblers from Chicago, who will excite the crowd with their awesome tumbling moves. Be sure to see the Kenya Safari Acrobat performers from east Africa, who combine cultural dancing with acrobatic moves derived from the Chinese. And you won’t want to miss the African magic and fire eating. Both amazing shows are great for audiences both young and old. Performing all weekend on the Family Stage.
Riverfest asks festival-goers to maintain a smoke-free environment in our
Family Zone Area. Thank you.
