Breaking up Christmas is a local square dance band known for offering traditional tunes with a delicate balance of gravity and drive. The band includes Dave Thielk on fiddle, Carol Hardy on guitar, Chris Cooper on banjo, and Chris Stuart on upright bass.
The Port Townsend Community Dance is inspired by traditional kitchen and barn dances and features a mixture of traditional sets, always danced to live music along with a dance caller. All experience levels are welcome; all dances are taught! Come alone, with a friend, with a partner, with the family – or with the whole village!
Admission is $10 per person/$20 per family; however, no one will be turned away at the door. Please bring your own personal water bottle and consider arriving on foot or by bicycle if possible!
