Mystical East, one of 10 performance stages, Releases it Schedule

The mystique of centuries gone by can be experienced in just a few weeks in the heart of Bucks County, on Sept 19 & 20, where a small town library presents an authentic faire that rivals commerical faires near and far, all for pittance at today’s prices of $5 admission. The Faire now boats 9 stages, so not every schedule has yet been released, but one stage has announced it full schedule--the Mystical East.

When combined with the Entrance Glen and Dance Stages, together, the stages feature new performances on every half hour. So if you wish to pursue and observe the artistry of dance, this faire is for you. And, of course, there are knights, aerilists, firebreathers, birds of prey jousting, singing, music and more on the other stages as well.

Of the 9 stages of Live Entertainment at the 15th Village Renaissance Faire, the crowds do come, sit, and enjoy their faire food, whether a turkey leg or traditional faire, at the Mystical East, a covered, seated stage right next to our foodcourt. A concept created during the faires third year and continued every since due to audience demands, it is under the directorship of the Mystical Mistress, Michelle Devine, Frenchtown, NJ, who runs belly dancing shows coast to coast. Not only does her troupe, Mahalat! perform, but she coordinates a diverse regional wealth of talent, that excites the attendees every year, from the youngest to the oldest through performances, drummer circles, and free lessons.

The stage will offer non-stop dancing and music for all guests, but one the featured dance troupes will be our local troupe, Tribal Bellies. Vikki Gale of Newtown, PA owns and teaches at Tribal Bellies Dance Studio in Huntingdon Valley, PA. Vikki, along with her student dance troupe Daughters of the Hip, has participated in the Wrightstown Village Faire for several years now, both dancing and offering henna art in “the Mystical East”. The Village Faire has become a favorite event for members of Tribal Bellies Studio, both as an event that is fun to take part in and a fantastic festival to bring family and friends to. When not dancing, the gals of Tribal Bellies enjoy visiting the sites and attractions the faire has to offer....they are committed, now for their 11th year, to be part of the this authentic, wholesome, affordable family friendly renaissance faire....for a Cause.
