Kids Euro Festival in Washington DC
14th October - 10th November
 Europe comes to Washington this fall with an arts festival starring the most talented European children's entertainers in more than 200 FREE performances all around the city. Kids Euro Festival will feature both in-school presentations and weekend events for the whole family: performances, workshops and a large variety of movies ...
Designed for children ages 6-12, the festival is the largest - and most diverse in the country, and is offered through the cooperation of 27 EU embassies and more than 25 major cultural institutions. Batt Burns: The King with Horse's Ears and other Irish folktales
Growing up in the emerald green hills of Kerry, Batt Burns learned the craft of storytelling from his grandfather, a master seanachie (storyteller).
Steeped in the twin customs of storytelling and verse - a key element of the seanachie's repertoire - Batt was fascinated by this world of words. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, he, too, was inspired to become a seanachie. Today, Batt draws on his powerful childhood experiences to authentically recreate the rich traditions of Irish folklore.
