Utah’s CLOG AMERICA will celebrate it’s 20^th International Festival Tour this year by appearing in three European International Folklore Festivals during July 2009.  The CLOG AMERICA dancers and musicians from throughout Utah and other intermountain states have been invited to represent the USA in the 21^st International Folklore Festival “FOLKART”, the folklore entity of Slovenia’s famous “Festival LENT” held in Maribor.  Expanded 15 years ago to include many different forms of performing arts such as classical, jazz, popular and ethno music, theatre presentations as well as folklore, the 2009 “Festival LENT”  will feature “Sting”,  “Circus” from China and “Cesaria Evora” as well as 8 international ensembles.  The entire event will be covered by the National Networks of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Germany and BBC London.

Clog America will then travel to Croatia to perform in the12^th International Folklore Festival Karlovac.  This year will be the first time the United States has had representation in this established Croatian festival

Ten years after performing in “Europaisches Folklore-Festival”, CLOG AMERICA will return to Bitburg, Germany for the festival’s 44^th anniversary. Because Spangdahlem Air Force Base is located just 15 KM from Bitburg, CLOG AMERICA has proven to be a festival favorite.  During this year’s festival,  CLOG AMERICA will join ensembles from Bulgaria, Ireland, Lithuania,  Poland, France, Croatia, Czech Republic, Great Britain, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, South Korea and Germany.
