Announcing a 'revised format' for WSDF 2026! Saturday, May 2nd

The Winston-Salem Dulcimer Festival for 2026 is on!  Mark your calendar now for Saturday, May 2nd!

This year we're back to our "full format" festival (after taking a short hiatus last year, with our 'mini festival').  We will have a full slate of instructors:  Nancy Galambush, Butch Ross, Marya Katz, Sheila Hunter, Carla Fosbre, and Ken Bloom.

Each of these instructors will offer a self-contained class with five hours of instruction (details to be found on the 'Classes' page), with a lunch break in the middle.  Building will open at 8:00, classes will start promptly at 8:45.  There will be a brief concert at the end of the workshops; that should get you out of there and back on the road home by 6:00 or so.

No payment in advance; you'll pay at the classroom door (cash or check; no credit cards please).  We do ask you to 'pre-register', so we'll have an idea of the headcount expected; all you have to do is simply send an email (details on the 'Registration' page).

There will be on-site vending, as well as a 'swap' table.   These are the things you can't get at a virtual festival.!
