Join us the first Sunday from May to October for our monthly contra dance series.
Led by an expert caller and fun for dancers of any age or ability, our contra barn dances are the perfect community event!
Beginners, or those new to contra dance, are invited to come early for a lesson from 6:30pm to 7pm, with dances running from 7pm to 9pm. No experience needed! The dance occurs inside our historical 18th century barn, with concessions available. Folks are invited to come early to picnic on our beautiful lawn.
