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
In March, the open sing is in Scranton, PA on Friday, March 7. It's in Shavertown, PA on April 11, and in Clark's Summit, PA on May 9.

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 contacting David Martin at the Email address or telephone number, below.

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, September to June.
