Why not?
We arrived at the site; a big sandpit with a podium for the officials. We were offered a place there, but declined as it was in the sun. Later it turned out that it was actually a podium that needed to be used by the performers. In any case there were hardly any officials or tourists.
There were a few stalls with merchandise, but I doubt if any business was actually done that day.
The two stalls that did have costumers were Obama beach buvette and the other food stall.
It started (like everything) with some singing and dancing.
Then came the 'walking haystacks' they moved around, turning a lot while doing it and there were always man directing them or more like trying to tame them, not quite sure which.

We non-believers think there is a little man in there that will be very hot and tired at the end of the day.
However they showed us there is nobody in there.
There were several of these things come and going.

Then there were more performances
And the 18+ dance, this was very popular with the crowd.
The main attraction for us was the public
