Founded in 1974, AFTM has been supporting, promoting, and performing traditional music and dance representing all traditional cultures and styles since then. We’ll have a live string band and dance callers to teach every dance. No dance experience necessary, all dances taught, family friendly, and free admission! Bring lawn chairs, picnic baskets, and comfortable clothes. Share on Facebook to help get the word out!
