Boom Boom Shake: Middle Eastern style dancing with a modern vibe. One of my favorites to watch.

Washing Well Wenches: Comedic entertainment, highly interactive, and watch out of the splash zone!
Cast in Bronze: 4 tons, 35 bells, and amazing music generated from this Carillon played by Carillonneur Charlie St. Cyr-Paul.
