I won't go into detail about the rest of the shows in the Festival of Nations, but there was a music and dancing group from Bosnia, Chinese acrobats, people on stilts, and a band called Atahualpa from Ecuador, all excellent entertainment. I think I mentioned the Moscow Circus a week or so ago.

There is food from all over and it is as good as the regular fare at Dollywood. That is to say, really good.

And if you have a season pass like mine, you don't have to pay the six bucks parking fee.
