Here are some other things for the 40th that I noticed yesterday:

I'm actually not entirely sure which old hamlet he is supposed to be from. He was walking around in Killarney, so I just assumed Hastings, but I suppose he could've been a throwback from Threadneedle Faire also. He is certainly an interesting character, he walks around in a sort of creepy way, wearing a rag-tag costume, with a pull-string mouse that he pulls around and scares people with.

Yes, there is a very nice street actor now in Aquitaine! She sings around the seating area in the front of Josephine's. She is actually a very gifted singer, probably one of the best in the park. She sings some beautiful French songs. One being maybe a familiar one if you've seen the Madagascar movies, Je Regrette Rien(I Regret Nothing). She really makes a nice ambiance. Around the area and has a very nice costume.

I believe I'm not mistaken, because the Music now played on Killarney Crossing(which is decked out in Hastings theming) is not what is playing inside Killarney, and sounds very midevil. I like it a lot.
Also, some other things I forgot to mention. There's a bagpiper playing in either Killarney or Heatherdowns, I'm not entirely sure which, I just saw him walking to a backstage area in the Wild Reserve. There's also a small(3 piece) Oompa band playing under the Gazebo in Rhinefeld, which is actually composed completely of returning musicians.
All of these street performances really give the park so much life, and more things to see. Especially considering they're not the overdone productions we typically see inside the theaters. And I'm even more happy to here they'll be here for the rest of the summer. They all really make the celebration special.
