Music at the Creek is a festival for and of music. While its primary focus has been on folk music, we encourage all sorts of music that the folk listen to.

Applications have well and truly closed for this year and our cuurent breakdown is as follows: about 21 traditional groups, 16 contemporary groups, and 6 ethnic music groups.

We would like to be seen as a stepping stone for new, upcoming bands because we wish to remain a small family-type event. At the Creek you can mingle with the reknowed and the not so famous in a spirit of festivity and fun.

We hope to see you there, to have a chat or a dance.

Dance party sponsored by advanced intermediate class. Dances from all levels, all types. Refreshments.
Price $7 (BFD member $5).
