Thousands of people line a shutdown to traffic, Main Street once a week throughout the season. Vendors of food, beer, clothes, and crafts, coat the edges of sidewalks as people make their way, beer in hand through the crowd as the music resonates. Restaurants and bars stretch their establishments through their doors to the street, bringing the party outside and mesmerized children take to the frozen yogurt and candy stores with their parents. This party starts at five o'clock and ends promptly at nine, giving it the name, Alive After

The air had a crisp feeling to it, the kind that just let’s you know that fall is right around the corner. Little kids were playing in the grass to one side and on the other people were beginning to lean on buildings, as all the seats under the tent were taken. The smell of food permeated the air as the food trucks began to get started, and people were waiting in line to get their first hotdog of the day. The stage was empty but you could feel the anticipation of the people as they knew that soon the performers would take the stage and they would be on their way on a journey through different cultures and traditions. It was the morning of the last day of the National Folk Festival and the North Carolina Traditions Stage was opening with

The name of my tribe is the Eastern Woodlands. The location of my tribe is in the Southeast portion of North America. The Eastern Woodlands have more than one tribe. Two of them were called the Mohawks and Huron. The Eastern Woodlands covered up the East Coast of North America from the Atlantic to the West of the Mississippi River. This is some of the information about my tribe called the Eastern

Birthday Party by Katharine Brush is a unique short story that captivates the reader in little words. Brush’s purpose with this story is to bring emotion to the reader, not their own, but a specific emotion, and vivid imagery that seems literal and realistic to the reader. She wanted to put the reader right in the middle of a realistic scene and she does that with few, but clever, literary devices: bland adjectives, the point of view, imagery, and the absence of metaphors and similes. Blunt description and the “dropping off” of the reader into the story without any detailed exposition drives the author successfully towards her purpose for the reader.

Climate change is one of the most controversial topics of the century. Many scientists believe that the main cause of global climate change is human impact. Specifically, the expansion of the “greenhouse effect”. The burning of fossil fuels has increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, causing the Earth’s temperature to gradually increase. This will eventually cause areas, like the Chippewa Forest, to lose all of its astonishing wildlife and plant life. The Chippewa Forest is a serene national forest located in northern Minnesota. It has eight different wetlands with distinct animal and plant species and it contains two of the largest lakes in Minnesota. Using direct data will provide an accurate indication about what will happen in

And many of the stories that were once told by the people are working its way out of our homes. We only hold onto the knowledge of Appalachia and the stories that accompany each folk song. What I've come to see over the years is the lack of respect that we have for the Appalachian people and the work they put into each item they present. Whether that be a pot or a basket we need to recognize the craftsmanship that they invest to make things to eat out of or to put things into. Many of us, like myself, was not born into the Appalachian life but yet it chooses me. An event held every year on December 26th named Christmas Country Dance School(CCDS). That is where you really feel a sense of getting back to your roots. All kinds of people come together under one roof to sing, dance, tell stories, and fellowship together as one kin. There you find a sense of belonging where you can walk into a room and really feel the energy of people, and automatically feel as though you found a sense of

I have been to the Pecan Festival at St.Rita for ten years now. I went to my first Pecan Fest when I was only two years old and I probably just ran around and did not go on any rides. But when I was little, my favorite part of the Pecan Festival was the games in the courtyard.

This February I attended the Asheville Mardi Gras Parade downtown as my cultural event. The parade moved through the South Slope brewery district, and featured a wide array of floats, costumes, and music. For example, the Ashevillage People had a float designed to emulate a phoenix with flames surrounding it. I had a fulfilling time, and it was a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours seeings the community of Asheville come together and see all the attractions. Asheville is very well known for its wide range of arts and culture, and that really was apparent during the Mardi Gras parade in the great variety of depictions all inspired from various regional cultures. Western North Carolina has its own, unique way of life and I was glad to see Mardi Gras adapted to work with it so effortlessly and beautifully.

Within my family we have few traditions that are massively prevalent; however, camping and a trip to Leavenworth to see the Lighting Festival are two cornerstones with my family. My personal favorite is the Lighting Festival, we go a few times a year to Leavenworth; therefore, going to Leavenworth can be boring after so many times. Yet, I am always happy to go during the Lighting Festival. During this festival, the store shut down and the music is interrupted at 4:30pm, for the arrival of St. Nickolaus, for the story of his legacy and “gold” for good boys and girls. This story and its tradition has been in my family since I was a child. I cherish it greatly and love to see my younger siblings have the same warm experiences. However, camping

In the beginning of the Sugarcane Festival during the 1930’s, it was not held in New Iberia. It was held in the town of Plaquemine in Iberville Parish which is a sugar parish located across the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge. The original idea of the sugarcane festival was to celebrate the beginning of harvest season which originated in the town of Plaquemine where the local rotary group wanted to celebrate the production of their hard labor. In 1937,after a shortage of money in the town, it was decided that the Sugarcane festival would be moved to the larger city of New Iberia and it was “planned as a fall agricultural harvest fair” (Levin 3). Business owners in New Iberia viewed the Sugarcane Festival as a way to develop local tourism.

There are still quite a few adults around today that remember a time when people were very different. They were feeling the good vibrations. Everything was peace, love, and happiness. They loved to groove to the music and simply enjoy living life. Today, people are far too busy to slow down and simply feel those good vibrations. They are too busy multi-tasking to take out time for peace, love, and happiness. However, the Joshua Tree Music Festival did its best to bring back those good old days that were reminiscent of peace, love, and the Haight-Asbury days.

The public place, in which I chose to observe fashion, was a community fall festival. This festival occurs once a year and brings people from several communities. I arrived at the festival in early afternoon, around 12:30 pm. The festival was just starting to get crowded. At this time there were mostly families with children present. I observed numerous families with babies in strollers. There were at least twenty “vendor” booths

A cultural event that I have attended in the past that has had a memorable affect on my life was a Native American Powwow. This event takes place every year, Thanksgiving weekend in Tucson, AZ. I arrived in the late afternoon, as the sun was going down. I remember seeing many different types of people, from tourists to the different Native American performers. The physical setting of this particular celebration was outside, and based around, one main circle. Drums were beating so loud, you could feel the pound inside your chest. Different activities were going on all around, such as dancers, vendors, and a huge variety of foods to choose from. The circular dancing arena is known as the arbor, this area is blessed before any of the events

It was a calm, overcast day, and I found myself resting at the side of a large oak tree, admiring the beauty of the woods that surrounded me.
