Clog America has received an invitation to represent the USA in the 20th anniversary celebration of 'La Festival de Martigues' in Martigues, France in July, 2008. The festival has received unfailing support from the City of Martigues, the Provence Alpes Cotes d'Azure region and the Council of Bouches du Rhones Department. Raymond-Yves Martinez, Festival Vice-President of International Relations wrote, 'Our festival of Martigues wishes to invite the Clog America Ensemble, in order to celebrate the 20th edition of our Festival. We are waiting with great impatience the performances of your Ensemble 'Clog America' in particular for the great Evening 'Gigues & Reels'. Your artists will be the splendid ambassadors of the American culture.' Clog America will also represent the USA this coming summer at the XXXII Festival Internacional de Folclore in Burgos, Spain. This festival is one of Spain's oldest and most prestigious festivals. Because the USA rarely has representation at International Folklore Festivals abroad, Clog America has been repeatedly thanked for bringing the folklore and energetic enthusiasm of the USA to the festivals thus continuing the group's mission of 'Building Bridges of Friendship and Peace through Music and Dance'. After Clog America's 2007 performance which closed the final concert of the 39th Festival Internazionale del Folklore Aviano-Piancavallo in Italy, Brigadier General Craig A. Franklin, the Commander Aviano Air Base (who was in attendance) thanked the group for representing the USA with such enthusiasm and artistic excellence. In a joint resolution, the Utah State Legislature recognized the Clog America International Festival Ensemble as a 'Utah cultural treasure' and 'Ambassadors of Peace and Friendship to the World.' Founded in 1991, Clog America is comprised of award-winning dancers and musicians who have had the great honor of representing the United States in over 45 major festivals and events throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico, Korea, China, Russia, Brazil and the USA.
