Magnificent 7's

The USA has produced a wealth of unique cultural and folk traditions. Along the Mississippi and Red River corridor runs a rich, vivid tradition dissimilar to anywhere else in North America. This region has produced much of what today is identified as American folk tradition, for example: bluegrass, blues, gospel, and country music; American foods like BBQ, gumbo, and Southern cooking in general; and also things like step dancing and campfire tales. We take much of this region's folk traditions for granted because much of it has become integrated into a part of an overall North American culture.

We intend to take Winter Festival goers back to the origins of American culture in order to see how it has evolved, and because who can resist tender pork ribs and rich apple pie while listening to foot stomping bluegrass! We have lined up some terrific high energy musicians to entertain the crowds, will have samples of traditional American cuisine and a display that features some early Americana and historical references.

*We will be offering 3 traditional bbq sauces for our slow cooked ribs. Come out and vote for your favorite!

The USA Pavilion is wheelchair accessible and will be fully licensed, featuring a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The USA Pavilion is a great place to celebrate and reconnect with friends who wish to explore American folk and roots traditions!
