This is the 4th year that the international music and cultural festival has been staged, and performers and music fans are coming from all over the world to join the fun. The weekend event will be held on 1-2 March, 2014, at the Promenada Resort Mall in Chiang Mai.<\/span>\"Hot<\/div>\n
Over the four years it has been held, the Chiang Mai festival has established itself as a much loved and anticipated event in the city\u2019s cultural calendar. It brings together under one roof musicians and performers from Europe, America, Africa and Asia.<\/span><\/div>\n
The artists at the festival have all been selected for their record for putting on impressive and entertaining performances. The event is a great opportunity for music lovers to come and enjoy the sort of high quality acts that do not often perform in the kingdom.<\/span><\/div>\n
The range of music and performers is impressive, ranging from opera to hard rock, blues, kwela street music and maskandi music and sakkie sakkie dance from Africa. Festival goers will also be able to enjoy various Indie dance and rock bands at the 2-day event.<\/span><\/div>\n

TAT Governor Thawatchai Arunyik said, \u201cThe Chiang Mai Fest is the only event of its kind in Thailand to provide opportunities for artists and music lovers to enjoy a celebration of international culture and music. It allows for great cross-cultural exchange and can help broaden the minds and tastes of all who attend.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThis is why the festival is building a name for itself not just among music lovers in Thailand, but also around the world because each year the audience takes away something special and discovers something new. And the performers are always impressed by the fun and creative atmosphere and the appreciative audience.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n

The blend of good food and great music will ensure that everyone attending will have a fabulous and memorable time.<\/span><\/div>\n
