I think it would be great to visit Silver Dollar City during Worldfest to get more insight into other cultures!
World-Fest is by far the best festival at SDC! If your thinking of going to Branson this year, don’t miss this one. It has the best food, the best shows, and is the most fun!
I’ve been to world-fesy before and its amazing what you see in some of those shows. I couldnt believe they were that capable…
I love SDC, but have never been to World Fest. I definetly will have to make the trip to Branson to enjoy the good food this year.
I have always heard this a great place to visit. I am actually going there this year.
I have been to world fest and it is really fun. The entertainment is great and the food is phenomenal!
I love going to World-Fest at SDC. The Ireland’s Feet of Fire was a great show. I want to go again this year–there’s always something new or something you didn’t see the year before.
World-Fest fits perfectly with the cultural theme of SDC, and always presents a varied show line-up.
World-Fest seem to be pretty cool i think that i should go to this this year
Wow thats great I have never heard of World fest before Sounds really exciting. I think it will be a great learning experience.
I absolutely love World Fest. One of the best times to go to SDC. I saw Ireland’s Feet of Fire last year, and saw a China show once as well. Super neat!
Ireland feet of fire… I could wanlk on fire I think!
Worldfest is my favorite fesitival. They always have amazing shows and amazing food. Usually I like the Greek food, the best. This year I want to go to see the the Zhejiang Chinese Acrobats.
I am so there! They had me at “International Food”. I’m always up for trying new cuisine. Also, the phrase “Banjo Queen” appeals to me in an odd way I can’t explain. The Invaders Steel Drum Band sounds like it would be amazing.
I would go for the food at the very least. I like trying foods from around the world.
It’s all about one thing for me, and thats food. I love all types of food and I am always willing to try something new.
I love World-Fest. It’s definitely my favorite festival at SDC.
Food thats what I’m talking about I would really like to learn what they eat in Ireland. This is a MUST SEE in Branson.
I cant wait until sdc opens.
World’s fest should be pretty neat this year! I remember going as a younger child and enjoyed it quite a bit.

I went to World’s fest the other day and it was a blast. We got to see a drum show from a group of people from Trinidad and Tobego. They were so talented and put on a good show. We also got to eat ethnic food in the park too. It was hard to choose what do eat because everything looked so good.
This almost looks like a Cirque Du Soleil production. I love that show,a nd i think I’d like this one.
this looks like it would be so freakin cool to go see
The Peruvian performance at Silver Dollar City is pretty goo..I’ve seen them before and they play traditional music from their country..Since their music is very similar to that of my countyr it really hits home
All of the performances at SDC from the different cultures are a lot of fun to watch.
this looks prety cool
The Invaders steel drum band from Trinidad sounds pretty cool..I really enjoy drum performances..for some reason they really get me hyped up!
Has anyone checked this out yet?
I want to go to World Fest this weekend.
We had a great time at World Fest! We got to see the Zhejiang Chinese Acrobats and they were pretty awesome, and for lunch I had Spanokopita while my husband enjoyed polish sausage. The best festival of them all is definatly World Fest!
This is almost over! Only a couple of days left….I can’t believe I’m going to miss it.
Worldfest is always great to go to for variety and experiencing different cultures.
This looks great!
Worldfest was so much fun and we are going to check out the BBQ festival next!
I think I’m going to have to go to this next year!
I didn’t get to go although I heard such great things about worldfest..I wish the weather would have cooperated!
