39th Annual Celebration of Traditional Music

39th Annual Celebration of Traditional Music
October 18-21, 2012
Berea College Berea, Kentucky

The Celebration of Traditional Music strives to represent homemade music passed on from person to person in the Appalachian Region and the musicians who play it. Old time string band music, blues, traditional gospel singing, ballads, and acoustic instruments are featured in a family-friendly atmosphere. Berea College’s students, faculty, and staff welcome the public to enjoy this festival of roots music and dancing on our campus. Bring your instruments, feet, and voices, and enjoy the many jam sessions and opportunities to learn how to sing, play, and dance to this music.
Please check back soon for updates.  

The Kentucky Arts Council, a state agency in the Commerce Cabinet, has provided funding for the Celebration of Traditional Music with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
