California WorldFest, July 12-15, 2012 Nevada County Fairgrounds, Grass Valley, CA

The 16th annual California WorldFest took place July 12-15, 2012 on eight stages - and lawns - at the tall-tree-laden Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley, CA. As always, established nationally acclaimed players such as Ani DiFranco, Cake, and Tommy Emmanuel mixed with younger alternative acts like Delhi 2 Dublin, Amanda Shaw, and Fishtank Ensemble as well as relatively unknown world players (to U.S. audiences), such as Meklit Hadero, Novalima, and Talavya. The festival grounds, including its wooded campgrounds, were home to several thousand attendees drawn by the bohemian yet family-friendly vibe, who converged to watch, listen, dance, camp, share food and spirit, and to celebrate songs and cultures from all over the world. For the 11 year in a row, I was the staff photographer and my wife Donna was manager of the fest's large Marketplace retail store. For more info for next year, check www.worldfest.net.
