CTO ... Black Mountain Music Fest to be held onsite October 16-21

Yes! Save the date... October 16-21, 2021. Plans are in the making.

Check This Out ... The contract has been signed with the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, NC. New protocols and setup are in place. Registration is expected to begin by the end of April.

Those who did not get a refund from 2020 will have the option to carry last year's registration payment forward to this year.

2021 will be a "transitional" year. Some things will be different... but overall the same good old time with all our dulcimer friends! Stay tuned for more info: Black Mountain Music Fest

Virtual Workshop, that is!

Our friend, Marya Katz, writes to let us know that registration for the Pocono Dulcimer Festival will begin this Sunday, March 21st at 12 noon EST. She's one of the featured teachers on hammered dulcimer.

Check This Out ... Don't live near the Poconos? No worries! There's no need to travel to enjoy the 18th annual Pocono Dulcimer Festival. It's being offered virtually this year, the weekend of April 22-25, 2021. To register, go to the Pocono Dulcimer Club website and click on the Register link.

Because workshops are expected to fill quickly, participants are advised to make a plan early. Check out the "Schedules and Descriptions" page. Choose and write down your desired classes. When registration opens you'll be ready to jump on it!
