Saturday Night Socials

Saturday Night Socials harken back to the early days of Folklore Village when Jane Farwell would host Saturday Night events at the Wakefield Schoolhouse. These themed evenings feature family friendly folk dancing and games.

Jane Night:
Jane Farwell’s Birthday Celebration

January 17 | 6pm

Join us for a very special evening honoring the life and legacy of our founder, Jane Farwell. In celebration of Jane’s birthday, we will gather at the Wakefield Schoolhouse (weather dependent) on January 17th for a community potluck, lively dancing, music, and games, all in the warm spirit Jane championed throughout her lifetime.

Jane Night is an annual tradition that begins with a 6:00pm potluck supper. Please bring a favorite dish to share. The Wakefield Schoolhouse does not have running water so you can help us out by bringing your own tableware (plates, cups, silverware). After dinner, join us for dancing, music, and folk games reminiscent of the community-focused fun Jane instilled at Folklore Village. Volunteer musicians are encouraged to participate in the Folklore Village Band.

Admission: $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and teens, $5 for kids, and free for children under five. There is also a $25 cap for the entire household.
