It&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve been able to party quite that hearty, but the Spiegeltent remains a unique summer fixture, year after year, ever-youthful with twinkling lights and all the whimsy of a gypsy carnival that rolled into town under cover of darkness&#8230;and just as fleeting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>more after the jump&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This year, the Bard SummerScape Spiegeltent promises to be every bit as spectacular as previous years, starting off with a bang on Saturday, July 5th and continuing every weekend through the second weekend in August. Known for bringing a wealth of cabaret acts to the Belgium-style tent, Bard knows how to put on quite a party with acts like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bindlestiff.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bindlestiff Family Circus<\/a> (a Spiegeltent mainstay), as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/hotsardines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Hot Sardines<\/a>, a band whose members include a faithful Upstater reader. They&#8217;re playing at the tent on July 12th, bringing their signature brand of Dixieland\/Gypsy\/Every other kind in between-style of jazz, complete with stride piano and a brass section. Dinner and drinks are always served during the shows, and afterward, you can still around dancing, drinking, and reveling until 12:30pm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For more information on what&#8217;s happening at the most happening tent in upstate New York, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/fishercenter.bard.edu\/spiegeltent\/2013\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bard Spiegeltent page<\/a>.
