The Catskill Puppet Theater
Full sets, colorful scenery and beautiful puppets combine with art, music, drama and American folk culture to transform even the simplest environment into a fantasy world rich with wonder and excitement.

Jeff the Juggler
Jeff Taveggia has delighted audiences around the world with his friendly sense of humor and enthusiastic love of juggling. He whizzes around the stage on a razor scooter while juggling, and he plays ping-pong with nine paddles.

Li’l Anne and the Hot Cayennes
A spicy blend of rock and roll, blues and funk with an up-tempo Zydeco beat, this hot band has been taking the Northeast Zydeco scene by storm.

Los Blancos
Their music spans style and time. They rip through blues, Memphis Soul, rockin’ Zydeco, Latin, and folk, all played with passion and finesse.

Les Sampou
This singer/songwriter/guitarist has been in demand as a live performer for two decades, playing her own original hybrid of rock, blues, and folk at clubs and concert halls, and at such prestigious festivals as Montreal Jazz Festival and the Kerrville Folk Festival.

 

The Magic of Virgil
Close-up, sleight of hand, audience participation and grand illusions by the award-winning magician.

The Salt Potato Band
Four acoustic musicians and multi-instrumentalists performing various combinations of guitar, fiddle, voices, banjo and mandolin. All veterans of earlier rock, folk, jazz and traditional bands, they infuse their music with a spirit and enthusiasm borne from a love of what they do, making each performance a unique experience.

Wacky Chad 
Wacky Chad is what you’ll get when you mix “dangerous” stunts, which include juggling torches on a unicycle and flips on a pogo stick, and hilarious jokes

Westcott Jugsuckers
Tune up some Delta-style blues with slide guitar, washboard, harmonica and tuba.

World of Animals
Fascinating and informative birds of prey and reptile show. Brian Robinson has been providing wildlife education since 1993. His animals have been featured on many national television shows such as Regis and Kelly and The Today Show.
