About this festival
The Folk Music Society of New York is hosting a friendly getaway filled with informal participatory music making, a weekend with music all around. You'll find instrumental jams, ballad singing, contemporary songs, traditional songs, and whatever! There-s even jigsaw puzzles and people out skiing, sledding, shopping, and hiking.
The Warwick Center is in the rural hills northwest of New York-s Greenwood Lake area, just 50 miles northwest of New York City with 465 beautiful acres and 7 miles of hiking trails. The activities are in a cluster of 3 buildings joined by both indoor and covered outdoor walkways with a central gathering room with a fireplace and several other smaller gathering areas. The center is ideal for informal music making. More information and a reservation form are available at www.folkmusicny.org Reservations may also be made directly online at www.winterfolkwknd.eventbrite.com.
