The 3rd Annual Princeton Traditional Music Festival will take place the weekend of 20-22 August. It's a free festival (unpaid - though we provide food, accommodation and some help with travel $$) and will present about 150 trad performers, mostly from the Northwest, but others are welcome to apply.

Princeton is a little ex-mining town (pop 3,000ish) 3 hrs E of Vancouver in the mountains. The road is exceptionally beautiful tho somewhat scary to newcomers, though more in winter!

The landscape is open hills with bunches of trees - ideal horse country. The town is at the junction of two rivers which is useful because it can be quite hot in the summer. Have a boo at our website http://princetonfestival.wordpress.com/ for last year's performers and a fine painting of what we see when we look out the window.

You say July to mid-August: let us know if you could extend to our weekend, because we'd be glad to have you!
