A lively weekend of music, craft, and community that honors the rich folkways traditions of New York State. From foot-stomping fiddle tunes and handcrafted instruments to storytelling, dance, and the voices of a new generation, this festival invites guests of all ages to explore how music connects us across time. Rooted in history and alive with creativity, the Fiddle & Folk Festival brings together performers, makers, and music lovers in an immersive celebration of heritage and sound.

Join us for a joyful exploration of life under logs, rocks, and leaves! We’ll start with a brief indoor presentation to meet some of the wild and tiny life beneath the surface and then venture on the trails to look for the real organisms that call Tifft home. Advance registration required. Perfect for all ages. $11 per person
