The PP26 Local Committee and PP Steering Committee are delighted to open registration today for the 27th ANNUAL POURPARLER from OCTOBER 22-25, 2026 in SACO (near Portland), MAINE.

Our venue is Ferry Beach, located on a beautiful 32-acre oceanfront campus. We will meet and eat all of our meals at Ferry Beach and have the option of staying in dorms on-site.

Please refer to PP26 Maine Registration Information for detailed information about the weekend, including registration and payment links. Note that everyone must fill out 2 separate registration forms and make 2 separate payments:

- The NFO Pourparler form for the program

- The Ferry Beach Pourparler form for the venue, including meals, meeting space and optional accommodations

You are welcome to forward this email to any folk or traditional dance or music teachers in schools or communities that you think might contribute to, and benefit from Pourparler. We look forward to gathering with newcomers as well as returning Pourparler alum at Ferry Beach this October.

Local Hosts:  Patricia Campbell, Chrissy Fowler, Gretchen Hanes, Kathryn Larson, Lisa Sieverts, and Marie Wendt
