Barefoot Becky & the Ivanhoe Dutchmen | #CDM2017 Performer

Tell us about your group:

Our group is based out of Mt Vernon, IA. We have been performing since 1988 and this event will be another to add to the many different kinds of venues we already perform for.

What inspired you to get involved as a performer at Christkindlmarket Des Moines 2017?

It is exciting to be a part of a celebration similar to what they do in Europe! I have read about the markets in Europe and am excited to be a part of the one here in Des Moines, IA! Plus I’ve never played outside in December!

Des Moines European Heritage Association connects Iowans with European traditions, language education and cultural experiences; and it provides resources and tools to other cultural heritage organizations.
