Music in My Pockets: Family Fun in Folk Music
Presenter: Jeff Warner
Singing games, accessible "pocket instruments" like spoons and dancing puppets, tall tales, funny songs, old songs and songs kids teach each other in the playground-all "traditional" in that they have been passed down the generations by word of mouth-will be seen, heard and learned. We will revisit 1850 or 1910 in a New England town, with families gathered around the kitchen hearth, participating in timeless, hearty entertainment: a glimpse into how America amused itself before electricity. This program is recommended for adults and children ages 6 and above.
Join us as we celebrate 50 years of bringing the humanities to your community!
Wilmotpalooza will be taking place on 9/8/24, 11am-3pm.
