Workshops

Thank you for your interest in our workshops! 

In honor of Bascom Lamar Lunsford’s focus on celebrating and preserving the region’s music and dance traditions, we are excited to host five workshops for festival goers to learn a little bit more from some of the finest musicians and dancers in the region.
