–
This August Redmond So
Bazaar Night Market will bring concerts, performances, artisan market, food and
drink along the Redmond Central Connector located between 161st Ave
NE and Leary Way for three Thursdays. The performance line-up for So
Bazaar has something for everyone this year:
August
11 - The
Cabiri Contemporary Dance Troupe
will perform aerial feats based on Japanese mythology, while the old vaudeville
hands from the Moisture Fest will keep you laughing and gasping all night.
August
18 – Festival
darlings The MoonDoggies will perform
right after a spirited square dancing session with live music by the “Trail
Buddies” playing Appalachian porch music led by caller Amy Carroll.
August
25 – Gypsy party
dancing led by Balkanarama and DJ Riz will meld into a finale
performance by the Jafra Dabke Troupe.
On the
evening of August 18, the Moving Art Center will host the MoonDoggies at So Bazaar. “Whether you need some serious recharging
after a long day at work or looking for something memorable to do with the
entire family, The MoonDoggies are
it. They’ve headlined indie-rock festivals and been featured on KEXP as one of
the best bands in Seattle. We’re proud to bring such talented artists to
Redmond,” said Culture and Arts Administrator, Jessica Rubenacker. “It’s the
creative energy and talent in Redmond that always makes me smile,” she said.
“It’s not every day that you dance to ‘caffeinated gypsy dance music,’ swing
your way through a square dance or stomp in a celebratory Dabke.”
Originally
designed by Brooklyn artist Janet Zweig, the Moving Art Center has been
responsible for turning unexpected areas around Redmond into an impromptu
stage. “The best thing about the Moving Art Center?” said Lara Lockwood,
Redmond Arts and Culture Commission Chair. “You never know where it will be next.
It always feels like a stroke of good luck when it shows up.”
