Family Contra-Dance at Hilltown Spring Festival
May 12th, 5-7pm

Family Contra-Dance at the Hilltown Spring Festival in Cummington! Bring your dancing shoes and join in from 5-7pm at the Cummington Fairgrounds!

New this year at the Hilltown Spring Festival is a family contra-dance featuring The Gaslight Tinkers, a new group that includes Peter Siegel and Zoe Darrow!

They describe their music as “Afrobeat, Caribbean, breakbeat, funk, and Latin grooves meet traditional Northern Fiddle. It’s the future of the music of the past; it’s a live remix; it’ll move your feet and intrigue your mind.”

Steve Howland will be the caller. Happens under the new pavilion at the Cummington Fairgrounds from 5-7pm. Come early and enjoy live music and dinner from the many local food vendors.
