Biographical / Historical

Festival Caravan was a summer program ran by the Bonfils Theatre from 1973 to 1985 in Denver. The festival was created by Henry Lowenstein, producer for the Bonfils Theatre. It focused on bringing arts to the communities of Denver, performing a variety of acts including theater, music, and vaudeville on a portable stage in parks. The Carson Brierly Giffin Dance Library conducted oral histories with individuals involved in Festival Caravan for their 2017 Annual Project.
