Dulci-More Festival
Historical Page
After postponements for two
years, Dulci-More Festival 26 was finally cancelled
on March 1, 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in the volunteers
available to ensure being able to put on a quality festival. With this cancellation,
there is the possibility that there will not be any future Dulci-More
Festival and/or the possibility that if there is a future Dulci-More
Festival that it might be in a much different format, at a different time of
the year, and/or at a different location.
If and/or until that happens, this page gives a general idea of what previous Dulci-More Festivals were like.
This was the First Announcement for Dulci-More Festival 26 Made on December 5, 2019
This Festival was Finally
Cancelled on

Map to BSA Camp McKinley
The activities listed here show the purposes
for the festival, as with the club, are for people to jam (from the workshops
to campfires, song circles, jams, and hymn sing), to learn (workshops), to
listen (concerts and mini-concerts), and to perform (open stages of two types).
We run a children's workshop area for kids of all ages during all workshop
clusters.
This is our twenty-fourth year at beautiful and historic
BSA Camp McKinley. The great indoor and covered facilities have let us enjoy
all scheduled events despite continuous and heavy rain during a day of Festival
3 and other questionable weather.
Workshops at the festival are run in beginner,
advanced beginner, intermediate, advanced, and general levels for many song
styles and many instruments. Some instruments are available for loan so that
anyone can get in on the fun and learning.
Pre-registered group discounts are available.
Inquire about them before the festival.
Children are always welcome with responsible
adults.
On-site Camping is primitive, meaning that
there are no hook-ups available. Bunk spaces in Zaplata
Cabin at camping rates are available until all are taken (no facilities in
cabin, but an outhouse is close). Rest rooms and showers are available at the
camp.
Campers wanting hook-ups
should make their own reservations at another campsite.
The Number for Lock 30
Campground outside Lisbon is 330-424-9197.
Non-campers may want to
make reservations at a local motel.
In Lisbon are: Frola at 330-424-3590, Days Inn of Lisbon (Was Lisbon Inn)

Dulci-More
Festival for Schools
Thanks to generous contributions from Folknet and Dulci-More, we will continue a program for
the eighteenth time this year in 2020. Dulci-More
will be able to take some of its performers out to local schools to give
performances. Each of the expected school performances will feature one or more
of the artists performing at Dulci-More Festival 26.
All students attending may receive a flyer for the festival. Our thanks go out
to Dulci-More member Anita Gorman for making the arrangements with schools.
