Clog America will then travel to Croatia to perform in the12th 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 44th 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.

 

This year’s “Warming the Human Spirit” Humanitarian Project will benefit MATERINSKI DOM MARIBOR (Mother’s Home Maribor), a battered women’s shelter in Slovenia.
