WHEATLAND'S TRADITIONAL ARTS WEEKEND: A MAGICAL POT OF GOLD
MAY 28-30, 2010
Come for the weekend, the day, an individual workshop or for the evening.
Traditional Arts Weekend (formerly known as Dance Camp) is an annual event held over the Memorial Day weekend on the Wheatland Festival grounds near Remus, Michigan. The Community Education committee provides over 80 workshops in traditional forms of dance, music, crafts, vocal, and instrument instruction that participants might not otherwise be exposed to. A silent auction is also held during the weekend. Free primitive camping for participants. Food is available to purchase on site. Traditional Arts Weekend has become a very popular Wheatland event for those seeking more personal instruction.
Participants can register for the entire weekend, a single day, or workshop. Some workshops have limited participation and advance registration is highly recommended. Advance registration can be done through the mail, or by calling the WMO office - 989-967-8879. On site registration begins Friday from 3 - 11 PM, and continues Saturday and Sunday from 8AM - 9PM. There are evening performances and dances which include Square & Contra, Swing, Salsa, Ceili, and Cajun. The cost for evening performances and dances will be $5 at the door, and are open to the public. A flyer with performers, classes, schedule and registration information is mailed in the spring. Contact the Wheatland office at 989-967-8879 for a copy.
