String Gathering

press release: Traditional music lovers, mark the weekend of November 16-18, 2018 on your calendars for the first Fall String Gathering! The Baraboo Clarion Hotel venue will have multiple jam areas always available on two floors (like in past years), additionally we are planning to have specific jams for old time, bluegrass, Irish, Cajun, and sing-along folk music, as well as adding a slow jam for beginning musicians.

You can come in for the day and do not have to stay overnight to attend the event (but staying overnight better allows you to jam on into the night and early morning!).

Check our website and Facebook page for updates and the latest news about the event.
