Johnny's SummaryThere are basically two events Friday night (the concert at Passim and the Boston Urban Ceilidh- BCMFest's Celtic Dance Party.) Saturday there is a day time festival appropriately called DayFest and then a finale concert. In between all the activities are parades and plenty of spontaneous activities. I have put a fair amount of info in the email but this link will give you plenty of additional info on the performers and performances particularly for the Saturday Day Fest: http://bcmfest.com/performers.html
During the Saturday ""Dayfest,"" go up to the Attic in First Parish Church of Cambridge (corner of Church Street and Mass. Ave.) check out ""The Children's Corner,"" featuring entertainment geared to families with younger children. You can listen to storyteller Joe Keane talk about the magical Pookah, or sing along to the duos of Hannah Sanders & Liz Simmons and Bridget Fitzgerald & Shannon Heaton, or learn about the wonderful, mysterious hurdy-gurdy (no, it's not that thing with the monkey and the tin cup). Finally, there's ""Cirque De Celtique,"" which takes place in the Sanctuary of First Parish: A trapeze show? Lion taming? Probably not. But you can expect a three-ring circus of music , juggling and comedy. Oh, and to get you into the festival mood, there will even be a parade at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday to the First Parish.
