Our shows usually take place outside in public spaces so you don't need to do anything except show up and enjoy. We're still waiting on details for some of the gigs later in our schedule, but we'll post more exact schedules when we know them.
NEFFA Festival. Weekend Event. Mansfield, MA.
The New England Folk Festival Association (NEFFA) puts on its annual music and dance festival each April. It has become the first dance performance for many morris and sword teams throughout the northeast and features continuous performances at the main entrance throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. This year we perform late Saturday afternoon.
