Select videos from Golden Fest 2014 (thanks to Noel Kropf )
It's our twelfth annual live broadcast from Brooklyn's legendary Balkan and East European music and dance blowout! Golden Fest is a massive two night gathering of musicians, folk dance enthusiasts and fans held at the spectacular Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn's South Slope.
The festival kicks off with a multi-band dance party on Friday night (Jan 17). Then for the big event some sixty bands performed on five stages from 6 pm until the wee hours. We bring you Saturday night's early action live from the Grand Ballroom, center stage of this fabulous Balkan-inspired bacchanal.
Massive thanks to our illustrious engineer and tech director Irene Trudel and our volunteer crew:
