Traditions Weeks are three individual weeks of classes, concerts, dances and other activities in the traditional roots-based arts, held on the campus of McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland. With over 350 workshops taught by 200 nationally and internationally recognized instructors, this is an opportunity to both dive deep into your chosen interest and to cast a wide net into the vast array of courses on offer!

NOTE:  the Common Ground on the Hill Festival takes place on July 13, the weekend FOLLOWING Traditions Week 3, and is held at the nearby Carroll County Farm Museum. 

Take time to explore this site and discover the vast array of offerings. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
