It’s mid-January and if you’re already starting to get cabin fever I got the perfect remedy for you. Get out and listen, participate and dance to a little music! And it just so happens that this weekend, the Summit School of Traditional Music & Culture is hosting their third Winter Folk Music Festival in Montpelier. Some great musicians will be in town giving concerts and workshops that are not to be missed.

Where: Downtown Montpelier, Vermont
Tickets: Advanced, discounted registration is available online at www.summit-school.org. Tickets will also be available at the door.
