The Winter Hoot is a down-home, down-to-earth, music gathering where everyone is welcome and there's joy to spare. Located at the Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, NY (20 min from Woodstock) the event begins with a Friday dinner, concert, and jam, continues with music, fun activities, and dancing all day/night on Saturday, and ends with yoga and a farewell singalong on Sunday. Don't miss the blacksmithing, mini concerts in the pewter shop, kids zone activities, local food and libations!

"Venturing north to the Hudson Valley, the three-day Winter Hoot folk music festival at the Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, New York brings together the folk music community through music, arts, and food. Infused with the spirit of Pete Seeger, Levon Helm, and Woodstock, organizers Mike Merenda and Ruth Ungar want to get young people involved in the folk scene. " -Sachyn Mital
