Contra Dance / Contradance Festivals, Camps, and Weekends

Contra Dance / Contradance Links for
Festivals, Camps, and Weekends

The following is a list of festivals, camps, and weekend aka "Special Events" that include contradancing. I have tried to be as inclusive as possible resulting in a list that includes events that have an hour-long contradance to ones that emphasize contra dances for a week (and you can see the non-dance related events that do have contra dancing at some point). Many of these events are also listed on the individual regional pages, but not always, especially if the contra dancing is of a tertiary nature. As always, corrections, additions, and deletions are welcome. I do recommend checking Dance Gypsy for more information for many of the events listed below. In addition, that web site covers events that do not include contradancing and ones that do not have web sites. Sites are checked about every eight to ten weeks for updated information so you are always advised to check the site rather than rely on the information here.
