2018 Party Themes
Mix and mingle at Folklore Camp Happy Hour Celebrations! Each day we explore a different culture or theme. Influences from this year's cultural themes will be sprinkled throughout the day in both our happy hour parties and also in the meals. On other days it is the frontiers of the creative mind that are the territories traversed and explored, sparked by a bit of suggestion on our part. Our joy is to explore a new culture daily through music, dance, rituals, traditions, food and drink... plus infusing a bit of Folklore Camp fun along the way as well!
**Dressing up for our parties is part of the tradition & fun of our camp... Join in if so inclined, but it’s not required**
SATURDAY - LET IT GLOW!
Come enjoy an opening mixer with you brightest neon or other 'glowing' clothes. It's a fun way to kick off Camp.
SUNDAY- GREEK MYTHOLOGY
Whether you want to be a god (like Zeus, Poseidon & Apollo) a goddesses (like Aphrodite, Hera & Athena), a Titans like (like Atlas or Cronus) or a hero (like Perseus or Hercules) this is the night to let you creative side come out!
MONDAY - BULGARIAN SPRING FESTIVAL
Celebrating the lively traditions of a Bulgarian Spring, come decked out in your favorite Balkan outfit and be ready to join in the celebration.
TUESDAY - DIA DE LOS MUERTOS
An evening to honor and celebrate the dead in Mexican style. Skulls (calaveras), Marigolds (cempasúchil), bright colors (colores brillantes), and altars (ofredas) will be aplenty.
WEDNESDAY - JAPANESE DINNER and LIVE AUCTION
Kimonos (robes) and Getas (footwear) will be welcome as we browse the silent auction items during our happy hour celebration. As with the other nights, you are always welcome to don your favorite Hawaiian Aloha shirt and join the party as a tourist!
THURSDAY - TURKISH BAZAAR
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, and we hope to capture a bit of that magic in the Mendocino Woodlands. As a meeting place of many cultures, you're likely to see clothing from across the middle-east. Teachers, musicians, and vendors will also be able to sell their wares so come ready to go home with some treasures.
FRIDAY - KMFC RADIO SHOW
A throw-back to simpler times before Facebook and MySpace when Radio Ruled. Enjoy an evening of nostalgic Americana with radio skits, wacky broadcasts, and of course, presentations from the weeks workshops.
