New World Festival

From New World Festival Website:

A vibrant celebration of Celtic and French Canadian music and dance.

Celebrate Vermont's Celtic and French Canadian heritage with traditional - and sometimes not so traditional - music and dance. Each year more than 70 exceptional musicians are drawn from New England, Canada and the British Isles. Concerts, music and dance workshop sessions, children's activities, and open dancing unfold on five continuous stages from noon until 11 PM. Food and drink provided by the area's finest chefs and breweries.

The festival takes place in downtown Randolph, Vermont in Chandler Music Hall and Gallery, in all-weather tents on both sides of Main Street, and in historic Bethany Church. Main Street is closed to traffic, and the festival site becomes an intimate pedestrian village.
