Description:
Join Radford City and Bisset Park for the 2012 Native American Heritage Festival on Friday, April 13th and Saturday, April 14th. The festival will include Native American dancing, crafts, demonstrations, food and more.

On Friday, there will be a special concert with Celtic Fusion recording artist Arvel Bird starting at 7 pm.

Arvel Bird, a violinist and Native American flutist, is known around the world for his dramatic connection between Celtic and Native American traditions, stirring up scenes that echo from North American memory. Dubbed “Lord of the Strings” by fans and music critics, his music evokes the soul of North American history and is thoroughly entertaining, but also enlightening and humanizing.

In a language and experience that captures the hearts of all audiences, he’s emotional without being condescending, intellectual without being pretentious. One measure of any art form is when the medium is so mastered that it becomes transparent, allowing its message to be seen, heard and felt. Arvel Bird has achieved that mastery.

The festival will be held a rain or shine. Everyone is encouraged to bring chairs and blankets.
