Doc/Fest Parties
In 2009 there was no excuse to spend any evenings in your hotel, as we had a big party every night of the festival. Doc/Fest 2009 was officially the only festival in the world where you could be wowed by Burmese dancing; roller-skate whilst slurping fresh oysters; bare witness to the 'Guilty Pleasures' all male dance troupe; and be served a drink by a celebrity pint puller!
