Folk College is 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 Juniata College, a
beautiful setting in Huntingdon PA, nestled in the picturesque
Allegheny Mountains. Within one weekend, you'll have a choice of
workshops ranging from old-time to blues to international, and you'll
get to sing, dance, play, and listen. All instruments are welcome, and
there are workshops for every level from total beginner to
professional.
Don't play an instrument but always wished you did? This weekend is
for you too! We'll have a beginners' intensive where instruments are
provided and you'll get a taste of playing instruments like dulcimer,
fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, and bass.
