    Firebird Festival - Firebird Festival -- Firebird Festival Dec 2022

    Firebird Festival

    Firebird Festival has been on my radar for years (tickets in the past sold out too quickly), but I…read morefinally made it this year, which luckily was the first year it was open to all / free to all! If you want to do the Firebird Festival, here are some tips from my experience. First, get on their email list. All the info will be emailed, including updates on building the bird, ways you can help, and volunteer opportunities. When they say they light the bird at 8pm, YES IT WILL BE LIT AT 8pm, AND IT WILL HAVE BURNED DOWN TO ITS FEET BY 8:15pm!!!! My last photo was taken at 8:13pm, as I walked away, and the structure had burned, collapsed, and was just a big bonfire + phoenix claws. And SO MANY PEOPLE were still descending on the park, thinking "it's only 8:15, I've got plenty of time" ummm, no. I passed at least 300 people wondering if any of them understood that all that was left was good live music and some drunk hook-up options. But the party continues until 11pm, so for the childless crowd, there you go. If you do care to see the bird, be there at least a half hour before 8pm. The drum procession into the field happens at 7:30, and is very cool to see, plus is a part of the ceremony and theatrics of it all. Then, dancing, chant music, fire dancers, etc. all circle 'round the bird. You can really see all they've developed over the years in the choreography, creativity, and attention to details. There were a lot of kids there, babies to teens, all ages. I was worried about my preschooler being afraid of the fire, or the idea of burning an animal figure. I made sure to show some kid-friendly YouTube videos ahead of time, and educate about this mythological creature, and it's meaning. I stressed that a new young bird rises from the ashes, according to legend, and that this bird was pretend, made of wood by volunteers. They ask for people to bring lunches to the volunteers in the months (yes, building starts in SEPTEMBER) leading up to the festival, and if I'd had time I would have done that and taken my kid to see that process. It's my plan for next year. Anyway, it went over pretty well. No kids were crying. Mine was a little sad at first, but then pretty fascinated by the fire. I don't recommend positioning yourself close to the fire with kids; it's scary and overwhelming for them. My preschooler was a little nervous when we were somewhat close, but did better from afar, where we saw a lot more kids as we walked out. The show really is something worth checking out at least once. They make a different style of bird each year (always a phoenix, but in different poses and styles). The bird is always about 25' high, made of wood. This year the bird had rainbow lights as eyes, and a mechanical beak that opened and closed. It also had a plume of branches sticking out its head. It looked partridge-y, but still I could distinctly see a phoenix. It was beautiful! As you can see in my photos, they projected a colorful light show into the body of the bird, which was equally beautiful. In addition to the phoenix, there are vendors, food options, and live music. A Boy Scout troop was selling hot chocolate ($3/cup) and offering apple bread and brownies but asking for donations on those. Sadly, a lot of people just took the baked goods and gave nothing, which was totally despicable. Those kids were working so hard, and giving up their own leisure time to enjoy the festival so these greedy drunk-high jerks could rob their baked goods. Ew! The live music was really very quiet. I had a hard time hearing it 50' away. There are residences all around Veterans Memorial Park, where it's held, so I guess noise had to be kept down. Stinks. Speaking of, there were a row of port-a-potties available, and the scent of weed every 3 square feet, with a cop every 10 square feet. Multiple fire engines were right nearby and ready. Everything was extremely well organized. There were police officers controlling traffic, guarding blocked off roads, and there to assist in the crowds. Shuttle busses ran from three different municipal lots (all full very early), and walking was possible from the downtown area, if you were up for a 1.5mi journey. We had best luck parking by a church in a nearby residential neighborhood, and walking from there with a stroller. I definitely recommend the Firebird Festival! But make it your focus of the evening. Everyone who thought they'd have a nice dinner downtown and then catch the shuttle or walk over to the festival was sorely disappointed to arrive when there was nothing left to see.

    I love fire, it can be very theatrical…read more Generous volunteers make this awesome free event happen each year. It's the family-friendly, East Coast mini-version of Burning Man. OK, maybe not but still a great time. Fire dancers? Check. Live music? Check. Local artisans? Check. Happy friendly hippies? Check Comfort food?

We watched fine equestrian sportsmanship!! Horse jumping! A rainbow even appeared. It just looked all so perfect. A lot of pampered pooches were present. It looks like they were part of an earlier event. I really love seeing the shopping area of the country fair. Handmade jewelry, beautiful hats, wonderful Devon horse show Shirts and various clothing/ souvenirs. If you needed a Jodhpurs , Reins /saddlery/ bridal or any kind of writing staples, you could buy them here! Splendid horse artwork, as well as artwork in general. You could even buy a set of beautiful cards. So nice! They had a wonderful carnival with a gorgeous Ferris wheel and many of those typical games that you find at such a place. But it looked really ideal here. Lots of drink/ snack/ food choices & there is even a wonderful band playing oldies music I had a wonderful time here ((and I would love to come back again and see the Clydesdale horses!! )) $40 to park and about the same for 2 of us to enter.

Each year the horse show raises an insane amount of money for Bryn Mawr Hospital! There is so much to do and see here; it's perfect for the family. There are so many fun events to watch, each day has something new. The Dixon Oval is the main ring but there's also a smaller ring to the side that holds events as well. The country fair portion is great. Tons of food options and great little shops to explore. The carnival is always fun to check out for the kids. The bar Clydesdale Corner is a blast all day. There's a patio to sit and enjoy a drink while watching the horses in the warm up ring. Then at night it's a blast with live music and dancing. If you don't feel like buying food you can bring a picnic and it's a BYOB event. There are plenty of food and drink vendors with a wide variety of options. Seating can be an issue depending on which event you attend. The Grand Prix is packed and sells out fast.

    We saw an amazing play with a cast of volunteers. Well, I said volunteers, but you would not ever…read moreever think they weren't professional. The play was "urinetown", a very complex piece The voices, the acting all remarkable $20 a seat, a bargain Can't wait to see what they are doing next. So affordable

    Saw our first production here recently and enjoyed it very much…read more We are pleased with the play selection, which is not pop-influenced, nor the done-to-death titles, etc. something more unusual, but quality just the same. We also recognized two of the actors from other local plays, and enjoyed seeing them in new and different roles. The theater itself is in an old church, which we learned was purchased by the Footlighters group. For us, we love theaters like this, where things are quirky and the focus goes to the production, not the sets or venue. For the benefit of others, I'll describe it a bit more since I know that is helpful to some people. Much of the original interior/exterior architectural features of the church remain intact which is cool to see, although the interior and exterior are in need of a little maintenance, which, clearly, they would probably do if they had the funding. One important safety item was outdoor lighting, especially when patrons are leaving to go to the unlit parking lot in the dark. The entrance is in the front of the building on Main St but the parking lot is off of Waterloo Ave in back, so it is a bit of a journey in the dark to get from A to B. We wrote to the theater about this and even offered to help install a light but never heard back. I am hopeful that word gets out about this place because it is an untapped venue, which many locals would probably love to frequent and enjoy! We live very nearby, just over the county line in Newtown Square, but ironically, after living here almost a decade, we only recently discovered this theater. One night, on our way home from Handel's, I happened to see the small signs for Footlighters, that were along Waterloo Ave. I looked them up when we got home. I never would have know about them otherwise. We use Funsavers all the time, and I have never seen Footlighters in there. I think they'd get tons more exposure if they occasionally advertised there. I know we would have found them MUCH sooner if they had. Just wish they could reach out to more people in our community to get the funding for more great shows and a little maintenance on the building to make it more hospitable (and keep the old charm of the place going strong). NOTE: Not sure why the Yelp category for this theater showed as "Cinema: but that is incorrect and should be changed since this if for live theater (play) performances.

    We had so much fun with the kind people of Bubbletopia at the 93rd Old Fiddlers' Picnic in Chester…read moreCounty! Got to talk to them at the end of their THREE HOURS of making enormous bubbles for the festival. They do public and private events. This is a local business in Malvern, PERFECT for any outdoor get together, hot or cold, kids or adults (because seriously, these jumbo bubbles would create a dope team game after a few adult beverages). I asked if they'd sell me any of their secret ingredient bubble formula... they will, but it has a shelf life of about 2 weeks so call them and they'll make you a fresh batch! In addition to their special HUMONGOUS BUBBLE formula, they use two fishing poles with chains between them to make country style prizewinner bubbles! And I'm serious, pop one of these and be ready for the suds spray! But totally worth it for the fun! The kids went WILD for hours. It never got old. Parents too could not resist, and they had a total height advantage, but I can't blame them, this was a pretty special experience. I can't emphasize enough, these are 'roid bubbles, not your average encounter. I was impressed at the arm strength of these Bubbletopia peeps, and they had smiles on their faces the whole time, watching the fun they created. They were so happy we enjoyed, and told me to check out their website for upcoming (public) events. I'll be there!!! And I'll be passing their card to everyone too!

    This past weekend (Friday & Saturday), I attended the 17th Annual Greater Philadelphia Mid-Winter…read moreScottish & Irish Music Festival, held at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia, PA. This was my fourth year in a row attending. I left Haymarket, VA around 11:30 pm-ish to head up. This year I took the back roads up U.S. 15 through Maryland and Pennsylvania - a longer route to get there - but a much more scenic route - as poet Robert Frost would say: "The road less traveled by..." The festival is organized by promoter Bill Reid and his organization - "East of the Hebrides Entertainments." This year, I was really focused on spending some time watching and listening to four of my favorite bands: Brother, Rathkeltair, Searson, and Scythian. Because of the way the schedule was organized this year between two stages - I only saw partial performances by Brother and Searson, but I did see full performances by Rathkeltair, Scythian, and an amazing all-girl group from Ireland - "The Screaming Orphans." A few notes: Brother: No one rocks like these guys. They have such an amazing sound - Didgeridoo, Highland Bagpipes, Drums, Electric Guitar, Whistles, throw in a guest appearance on the Saxaphone. The Didg and the Bagpipes are soooo complimentary the way Brother weaves them together! Searson: The addition of a new drummer - Mary (only two weeks with the band) and Andrew on Guitar have slowed Searson down one bit. Old man Searson (Mike Searson) retired from the group this past year - but his three daughters are going strong. Awesome performances! Rathkeltair: This is the first time I've seen Rathkeltair perform since Neil Anderson - "The Antipyper," returned from his military stint of duty in Iraq. God bless him! Rathkeltair kicked major ass. They played a number of songs from their new album: "Big White Van." Scythian: Watching Scythian always makes me smile. They somehow intuitively know how to get the crowd fired up, cheering and dancing. It's such a natural thing the way they do it! I also caught bits of performances by Five Quid, Albannach, and Hadrian's Wall. Pix are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/emeralddragon/sets/72157613880325170/ It was amazing how many folks turned out. Bill Reid told me they sold more tickets to this year's festival than any other in history. And the vendors I talked to in the vendor area - seemed to be doing well sales-wise!
