Tollwood’s WINTERFESTIVAL 2010

This is very comparable to an alternative Christmas market, with cultural events taking place all the way to New Year’s Eve.

You can also expect some free and interesting performances such as musical and walk-acts, environmental activities and kids entertainment.

Nouveau Cirque

Four companies, The 7 Fingers from Canada, the Tom Tom Crew from Australia, the Race Horse Company & Circo Aereo from Finland and Cirkus Cirkör from Sweden will be showcasing their talents from different backgrounds – nouveau cirque acrobatics and street cultural elements, like dance, skateboards and beat boxing.

Weltsalon

Weltsalon (World Salon) brings together people of all different points of views, cultural backgrounds and visions; artists, scientists, politicians, and story-tellers will bring their visions to the table via panel discussions, concerts, installations, photo and cabaret exhibits and performances. Weltsalon is a call to rethink and become informed and aware of people as opposed to theories.
