In 1991 it moved to the Cambridge Center and celebrates its 27th continuous year this spring.This year’s festival begins on Friday, May 4 with a special Dulcimer concert featuring folk artists Heidi and John Cerrigione and Lorraine & Bennett Hammond. Saturday features a day of workshops, to learn about and play this wonderful instrument, before a feature concert in Watertown with dulcimer maestro Don Pedi. It’s a rare opportunity to hear this wonderful instrument played by one of its finest artists.

On Sunday, turn off the TV and come to Harvard Square for some authentic fun! It’s a playful concert of folk music for children of all ages, featuring the Hammonds.
