Join us for our Annual Winfield Warm Up Picnic
on Saturday, September 13th, 2025
We're planning a day-time event, with morning workshops for mountain dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, autoharp, guitar, mandolin, banjo, and fiddle. The afternoon will feature a potluck lunch, concerts, jamming, and basic dulcimer maintenance. Everything is free! Join us at Island Park (north end of Main street in Winfield) for a full day of fun and music.
