SUMMIT SCHOOL OF TRADITIONAL MUSIC AND CULTURE

• Fall and spring evening classes for adults

​

• A variety of smaller, one-day events, including The Mud Season Spectacular, Balfolk workshops and dance, and other dances and workshops.

 

• Youth classes, located at schools in the past and currently at the Center for Arts and Learning in Montpelier

 

• Summer Trad Camp for kids and Trad Camp Weekend for kids and their grownups

 

• Old Time on the Onion, a yearly weekend gathering at Onion River Campground

 

• Pickin’ in the Park, a pandemic series of informal jam sessions in Hubbard Park

 

• Spice on Snow, a 4-day mid-winter festival that brought nationally known Cajun and Roots musicians to downtown Montpelier.
