New England Folk dance and Folk (music?/song?) Association holds an annual festival and probably other more local events.

For several years now, NEFFA has been held in two schools next to each other in Mansfield, Massachusetts. This year it was scheduled to move farther north to Acton, MA, but was canceled because of the worries about coronavirus. I understand that there was a lot of input from the school department. The buildings are part of the Acton- Boxborough Regional School District. One special concern was for the dancers who are in close contact with each other. The committee hopes that this all-volunteer festival will be held in 2021. I hope so because it's tremendous fun!

NEFFA (in this context) = New England Folk Festival Association.

This is sad but I'm glad the organizers made their decision early.

We were able to cancel our hotel reservations in Boxborough without penalty after a bit of discussion. Don't give up on discussion!
