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: Hook & Peel Pizza on Friday and pot-luck supper Saturday 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.
There is ample space for camping. 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: $40, kids free (age up to you). Cash or checks only; no advance reservation.
