Winter Creek Reunion and Acoustic Music Festival

Winter Creek Reunion is a free festival and offers workshops on hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, guitar, banjo, autoharp, fiddle, rhythm, and shape note singing. You will always find someone jamming and all are welcome to join. There is camping on the grounds available for rv's and tents along with campgrounds nearby. Vendors are also available to offer a variety of crafts and musical products. Everyone enjoys the afternoon and evening concerts as well.  You'll love the relaxing, laid-back country atmosphere of the festival and we will lay odds that you will feel like you've been to a family reunion by the time you leave!
