The public can attend concerts, and also attend a day's worth of workshops or the entire weekend.Spread the word -- everyone is welcome! What Festival?! The Potomac Native American Flute Festival.

There is a great Saturday performance this month at our arts center and so we'll be meeting upstairs rather than in the great hall. Look for signs pointing you the right way.
