Balkan Night Northwest 2016

The fifth annual Balkan Night Northwest brings a joyous explosion of music, dance and tradition from all over the Balkans to Saint Demetrios Hall (home to the Seattle Greek Festival) on March 5th! Balkan Night pulls ancient traditions into the present, with three stages and dozens of bands, and music that spans the centuries, from Dionysian zournas to fusion dance bands! Come early and stay late to enjoy the Kukeri, the bell-wearing creatures (the friendlier cousins of the Krampus), who will greet the festival and romp throughout the night. The party starts at 3 pm, March 5th, at Saint Demetrios Hall (home of the Seattle Greek Festival), and brings wall-to-wall music until midnight. Kids welcome, no partners necessary!

The festival brings together musical traditions from a dozen Balkan countries, featuring local favorites Bucharest Drinking Team, Orkestar Zirkonium, and Gino Yevdevic of Kultur Shock fame, along with many other groups from near and far. This year's special guests are Kalin Kirilov and Sergiu Popa, both accordion virtuosos in their own right, offering their own mind-blowing spin on Bulgarian and Romanian music.
