The Flurry Festival

The Flurry Festival is one of the largest folk dance and music festivals in North America, and, in a traditional year, takes place over President’s Weekend in February and draws roughly 4,500 attendees and 400 performers. To accommodate the differing needs and comfort levels of our community members as our in-person events reemerge after the pandemic, this year will look a little different! The toe-tapping music consists of reels, jigs, polkas, hornpipes, and waltzes. Besides fiddle, instruments in the family dance includes banjo, mandolin, guitar, ukulele, While participation in the dancing is encouraged — and it’s hard to sit still — it’s fun to just listen to the music and watch too!
