Old Songs Festival

The Old Songs Festival is held at the Altamont Fairgrounds near Albany, New York, typically on the last full weekend of June. A family-friendly celebration of traditional music, it showcases folk, Celtic and world music through evening concerts alongside more than a hundred daytime workshops and dances. Known for its relaxed, participatory atmosphere, it invites attendees to actively join in the sessions and dances rather than just watch from the sidelines.
