Dancers from Czech Republic
Each summer, the International Folkfest brings dance groups from around the world to Middle Tennessee.
This year, the event, hosted annually by the Murfreesboro-based Cripple Creek Cloggers, will bring troupes from Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Germany and the United States for community performances June 11–13.
This will include a big, free public show at Cannonsburgh Pioneer Village the evening of Wednesday, June 12, featuring all visiting groups. Organizers invite all area residents to come out and welcome the dancers to Murfreesboro, bring a blanket or lawn chair to relax and enjoy the performances, and possibly, by the program’s end, get up and join in some of the dancing themselves.
The international groups will also perform for area schools, civic clubs and youth and senior citizen organizations during their stay.
