Join Burlington Taiko as they mesmerize audiences with the powerful, spellbinding, and propulsive sounds of the Taiko drums. To kick off the Mahaney Arts Center's 30th anniversary, Burlington Taiko leads a parade of Taiko music and a Japanese Lion Dance, starting at the center of campus and leading the crowd to the MAC's back lawn for free, outdoor performances. Parade Friday at 3:45 PM, performances Friday at 4:30 and 5:30 PM, and Saturday at 2:00 and 3:00 PM. All ages. Rain or shine. Free and open to the public. Read more at http://go.middlebury.edu/taiko
