Old Time on the Onion is an all-acoustic, very informal, mostly non-performance gathering – all jams, all day, and all night for the exceptionally vigorous.
The Music: It’s mostly old-time, but all traditions (Irish, Scandinavian, Indigenous, Baltic, Balkan, Blues, etc.) are welcome.
The Food: Expect a food truck on Friday and a Saturday evening pot-luck under the big tent.
The Location: The Pransky Farm, 234 Pransky Rd, Cabot VT. The farm is a rural paradise with wide fields, sheltering woods, and a pavilion that offers shelter and a site for the Saturday pot-luck. It is about 15 miles north of the Onion River Campground, easily accessible along paved roads, and is a few miles from Cabot Village. Cabot is known for the Den at Harry’s Hardware, which hosts a weekly old-time jam every Sunday starting at noon. The farm is part of the Winooski River headwater area, and, though no river runs through it, it does have a pond available for swimming.
Some power can be strung from the pavilion, but there are no RV hookups. Dogs are OK, as long as they’re under control.
The Cost: TBA!
