The main stage performances will be supplemented by many others, including square dancing, in the Parish Hall, and workshops featuring films, readings, and instrumental or vocal instructions, in an upstairs room. On Sunday afternoon there will also be the Banjo Toss, at which your correspondent has always done miserably.
You may purchase tickets here.
