Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering, September 6 to 8
Category:EventsBe part of Pennsylvania’s living musical tradition at Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering, as you enjoy playing, singing, jamming, dancing, listening, learning and sharing your enthusiasm for folk music.
Whether you are a non-musician or an advanced player, you will find activities to suit your interests. We offer workshops and classes in eight time slots covering a range of styles and techniques, two concerts, a contra and square dance and many jam sessions.
