The Morris dancers have celebrated the seasons for hundreds of years in England with music dance, songs and plays. Decked out in ribbons and bells the dancers performed athletic dances with handkerchiefs and sticks to encourage good fortune and fertility for the coming season. The Bridgetown Morris Men keep this age-old tradition alive in Portland and will be at Director Park on Sat, July 9th from 3:30 to 5pm for an energetic mix of traditional dances, music, songs and plays.
