Barrage is a high-octane fiddle-fest that The Denver Post calls "too wow for words!" It routinely wins comparisons to Riverdance and has been called "Stomp with fiddles," but this breathtaking, high-powered show is completely unique. Barrage mixes a generous sampling of traditional world fiddle music - from Irish jigs to gypsy music to Caribbean folk - with pulsating, modern beats and layered vocal arrangements, all performed by its hip, dynamic, eye-catching cast of young virtuosos, who play and sing and dance with seemingly inexhaustible abandon. "This amazing show, ideal for the whole family, is abouth as blithe, blissful and beguiling as entertainment gets!" (Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune).

The City of Jacksonville celebrates the Chinese New Year each year with a parade and downtown festival in honor the thousands of Chinese who worked the mines and railroads of the region.  

Parade begins at 10:30am, city wide festivities and demonstrations are scheduled throughout the day.
