Our annual Bluegrass Festival (May 28-31) features not only great stage performances, but also the chance to work with some great artists in a workshop format. Kim Cyr of the CT Bluegrass Association coordinates the workshops, while our Kids Academy is directed by Vicki Baker. Although the full workshop schedule is not quite finalized (and will be posted on the BG page as soon as it is finished), we do have some early info to pass along. In addition, the dance lesson schedule for the Cajun/Zydeco Festival is also coming together.
