May 16, 2017 – St. Catharines

The Bavarian culture was on full display at the open house of Social club Heidelberg, St Catharines during the Niagara Folk Arts Festival 2017. The audience had a chance to witness the ringing of the alpine bells, various folk dance groups, dance to the music of Band Europa and tasted various delicious German food.

Tom Vogt explained some of the cultures on display in an interview with Mosaic Edition. Bavaria, a southern province of Germany is typically a land of farmers.

The farmers in the Alpine regions identify their cows in the fog when grazing by worn bells. The farmers can know where their cows are and differentiate their cow from that of their neighbours’ by listening to the sound of the bells. Now it is part of cultural performances as different tones are put together to form songs. The audience was able to learn about the farm life of the people of Bavaria during the wood choppers cultural dance.

The event was incomplete without the German beer. “Prost,” says Tom Vogt raising a glass of beer.
