Mosaic 2006

bollytitle
We went to the annual Mosaic festival, it was our first visit, but I would like to go again, as I enjoyed it very much. It is also a free event, which is held at Central Memorial. The weather was lovely, warm but not too hot. There were craft and food stalls, Buskers (Hula Hooper's), a Harp player, etc.
"It was Mosaic's biggest year yet with approximately 4000 people coming by Central Memorial Park to check out all the exciting things Mosaic offers." - Victoria Crossing Mosaic

The best were the artists of many nationalities, doing Flamenco, Haitian, Italian and even Bollywood dances, it reminded me of eisteddfods, very professional with beautiful national costumes.

"Bhangra is the favourite dance of the Punjabi villager. It is a dance of stamina in sheer force and tempo. This ancient dance is associated with the ripening of the harvest. The origin of this is associated with fertility rites." dsc_2446
