Held at the Mary Taylor Memorial United Methodist Church of Milford.  Beautiful sanctuary with good acoustics.  Eight large rooms for workshops.

The festival will include concerts Friday and Saturday nights, plus a full day of activities Saturday.

We have another great lineup of workshops -- ranging from middle-of-the-road to cutting-edge -- for hammered and mountain dulcimer players of all levels.  Our workshop leaders this year come from practically every state in the Northeast, including many familiar favorites from previous Nutmegs, as well as some great, new faces.

Held at the Golden Eagle Christian Center, it's a full weekend of Music ... mountain & hammered dulcimer, autoharp, guitar, banjo and (what am I forgetting?) all other acoustic instruments will join our voices in a weekend of Gospel music.

We are non-denominational, just Christians sharing our love of God and praising Him through our music.

The Saturday evening Community Gospel Sing is the highlight of our retreat, giving our participants the opportunity to accompany the general public in singing the old hymns and gospels.

This is not a festival, but a retreat, where we offer music, Bible studies showing the importance of music in Biblical times and in the present.  We are non-denominational, just Christians sharing our love of God and praising Him in song.

This year we celebrate a decade of music, memories and relationships! We'd love to have you join us.  Please contact us or visit our website for information regarding camping and pets.

Registration information, workshop schedules and concert offerings for this 2-day event are available on our website.
