Live Music: Folk

5pm -11:30pm Fri, 8am-11:30 pm Sat, 8am -2pm Sun

A fun and friendly weekend of playing and listening to folk music - a fantastic three days of workshops, concerts, jams, dancing and friendship. Activities are held at Greenwood Furnace State Park in central PA, about 30 miles south of State College. This is a gorgeous location with beautiful mountain views, miles of hiking trails, and a six acre lake for swimming and fishing.

Musicians of all instruments and levels are welcome, and there are also options for singers, dancers, and non-musicians. There’s a choice of about 45 workshops on topics ranging from old time tunes to harmony singing to arranging music.  Jam sessions will take place throughout the weekend.  You’ll have a chance to perform at open stage and also as part of a group performance Saturday evening.  There will be a staff concert each evening, followed by staff-led jams, singing around the bonfire, and a contradance with open band.
