And the Getaway is a weekend sponsored by the Folklore Society of Greater Washington [DC] (FSGW), held at Camp Ramblewood in Darlington, MD (the Northeast corner of Maryland). Many members of FSGW are also Mudcatters, and in recent years, many out-of-town Mudcatters have travelled to Maryland to join in a weekend of non-stop music making. It will run October 18-20 this year.

Further details can be had at The FSGW Getaway Website.
