    Our beautiful pavilion lights up with a wonderful Main Stage lineup of diverse folk & roots music beginning Friday night at 6pm, and resuming Saturday with our intimate Sycamore Song Circle beneath the enormous creekside tree at 1pm, and another incredible Main Stage lineup at 3pm. The late night songwriter circles and campfire jams go until the wee hours for anyone to participate or simply enjoy.  If you can't be here in person, everyone who donates will also receive the livestream link. You can join us at Mountville from the comfort of your home anywhere in the world!
