Missoula Old Time Social // April 25 - 27
The Missoula Old Time Social is a three-day gathering celebrating traditional, old time music and dance. The Social features old time jams, concerts, workshops, a community square dance, and a grand cakewalk, all with the purpose of bringing people together in real time, face-to-face, to share in the experience of creating, enjoying, and dancing to homemade music. All are encouraged to participate-pick up an instrument, learn to clog, try your hand at square dancing, join in on a cakewalk. Likewise, this event is for everyone, beginners and experts alike. The Old Time Social is all about having a good time, and, well, it's a social. We hope you'll join in on the fun.
