The Festival of American Fidle Tunes July 1, 2007

A piece of wood, a few strings, and a pair of hands. From these simple ingredients, entire musical traditions emerge.

One of America’s grandest celebrations of roots music, the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes brings authentic bearers of musical traditions to the stage, connecting you with the communities and cultures that make up the quilt of American music.

Led by Artistic Director Dirk Powell, the heart of the Festival is a weeklong workshop. Throughout the week, concerts, dances and jams take place, culminating in mainstage public concerts in McCurdy Pavilion Fort Worden State Park's WWI-era balloon hangar.

Public mainstage concerts are July 4 (1:30pm), July 6 (7:30pm), and July 7 (1:30pm). Reserved seats/ticket prices are $16/$20/$5.
