The World Beat is an international festival featuring music, dance, crafts, and food. Our fifth year to the festival is the hottest yet. 100 degrees! The heat wave broke records across Oregon. Phew. We conquered the heat with umbrellas, strawberry lemonade, and ice cream. We baked in the sun at the main amphitheater listening to a Japenese Taiko drums group and later a Steel Drum band. While wandering through the festival looking for tasty treats we watched Hula, Maypole, and Chinese dances.
