Vinotok Harvest Mother Celebration 2026
The fireweed has gone to seed, the leaves are starting to change, and Vinotok is nigh!!
Join us on Sunday Sept. 13 at Noon at the CB Farmer’s Market for the Harvest Mother Celebration.
We will honor our Mother Earth and our 2026 Harvest Mother, PJ Brown!
We are in need of African dancers, African Drummers, Belly Dancers, Stilt Walkers, and we always need helpers in general if you just wanna help. No experience necessary! The dancing and drumming are totally appropriate for beginners and will be taught the weeks before the performances! Please see the rehearsal schedule below for the specific group rehearsal times and for the ALL CAST rehearsal times that are mandatory for everyone to attend. This is a donation based dance opportunity for all.
