Who we are
We are an organization promoting traditional music, dance,
and storytelling in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
About the music
Monthly "singing circles" have been on-going since 1982, and
often start with a pot-luck dinner. They are informal
gatherings, usually held the first Friday of each month at a
member's home. We begin with a few sing-alongs, then we take
turns around the circle, offering something we have
prepared, requesting a song or story, or just come to listen
and enjoy homemade entertainment. We use a "democratic"
format (taking turns), which encourages people of all levels
of accomplishment to participate.
Events and Activities
You can find future open sing events on our
Google Calendar.
All Folklore Society events are smoke-free, and only
non-alcoholic beverages are served.
You can get directions to the location of the next event
or ask to be added to our monthly notification list by

The Dance Series
The Folklore Society, together with the Chicory House,
sponsors a New England Contra Dance, usually on the first
Saturday of each month, October to May.
