An in-person event
December 5-7, 2025
Led, as always, by participant leaders
It’s the FIFTEENTH ANNUAL Music and Dance weekend!
Register now!
On the first weekend in December, this beloved event returns to Quaker Center – now fifteen years running. Join us for a weekend of celebration, music, singing, dancing, workshops, hanging out, great food and more, here in the redwoods.
We encourage musicians, singers, dancers, and those who just enjoy listening to attend. No particular dancing or musical talent necessary to enjoy this all-ages event. In past years, activities have included folk dancing from around the world, ukulele workshops, round singing groups, hymn singing, instrumental jamming, songwriting sessions, children’s songs, and more. If you have an activity or workshop you’d like to share, we’d love to hear about it!
We’ll gather after dinner on Friday evening, Sessions of this program will be participant-led, with the exception of a professionally called community dance on Saturday night, with a fiddler and band.
Early risers may begin the morning with meeting for worship, a Quaker Center daily practice.
Children are welcome and some childcare will be provided.
Overnight lodging will be in the Orchard Lodge bedrooms and Redwood Lodge bunkrooms. Camping is also available, and commuters staying at home or elsewhere are welcome.
Delicious vegetarian food will be prepared by Chef Tod Nysether.
All Quaker Center programs are on a sliding scale, with the following suggested contribution amounts:
Standard rate: $200-350.
Welcome rate: $75-150.
