Join us for our sets at 10:45am (yes, AM!), noon, and 1:15pm on the International Bazaar Stage. We'd love to see you!

Is there anyone you'd rather spend your Labor Day with than Orkestar Bez Ime? ... ... ... We'll take that as a YES! Join us for our sets at 10:45am, noon, and 1:15pm on the International Bazaar Stage. Let's celebrate the last day of wearing socially acceptable white shoes for the season!

OBI once again is happy to participate in Tapestry's annual Fall Dance Party. Bring your dancing shoes and enjoy an evening with three hours of Balkan Party Music!
