I saw them again recently marching in the Opening Day parade with the Queen City Zapatistas.

Dante’s Gypsy Circus

You can find their schedule on their website – they’ll be performing at Scorched Nuts in June. In the mean time, here is a video from their YouTube channel.

It consists of 2 primary performers experienced in street, renaissance festival, party, festival and night club performances.
