Greenwood Furnace Folk Gathering 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 Greenwood Furnace State Park in
Central PA, about 30 miles south of State College. This is a gorgeous location
with beautiful mountain views, miles of hiking trails, and a six acre lake for
swimming and fishing.

Musicians of all instruments and levels are welcome, and there are also options
for singers, dancers, and non-musicians. There's a choice of about 45 workshops
on topics ranging from old time tunes to harmony singing to arranging music.
Jam sessions will take place throughout the weekend. You'll have a chance to
perform at open stage and also as part of a group performance Saturday evening.
There will be a staff concert each evening, followed by staff-led jams, singing
around the bonfire, and a contradance with open band.

The cost for the weekend is $65 if postmarked by August 1 and $80 afterwards.
The fee includes all workshops, jams, concerts, and dancing. A meal package with
3 meals Saturday and 2 meals Sunday is available for $45.

Camping is available by calling the park 8am-4pm at 814/667-1800. Let them know
