The 26th
Annual Rockbridge Mountain Music and Dance Festival is next weekend, September 7-8, 2012. This will be my first time going but I’ve
heard nothing but good things. Here’s
what I know or have been able to surmise about the festival:
-Started by Mike Seeger in 1986 as a festival for
musicians by musicians.
-Always the
weekend after Labor Day.
-Impromptu
old-time music jams all over the grounds until the wee hours every night.
-No contests.
-Picturesque
setting alongside the Maury River.
-On-site camping on
level grass and available hook-ups.
-Indoor toilets
and showers with additional port-a-potties.
-Food available - Friday supper, three meals Saturday and breakfast Sunday.
-Fiddle, old-time
guitar, old-time banjo, flatfooting and clogging workshops.
-Dances each night
under a giant tent.
-Dogs allowed.
Takes place in Glen Maury Park in Buena Vista,
Virginia. In the
Shenandoah Valley, Rockbridge County. Beside the Blue Ridge Parkway. Five miles east of Lexington.
