It all started one cold, snowy winter in 1978....   Shake off those winter blues and come to play or just listen at South Middle School in Morgantown, West Virginia. This festival showcases traditional Appalachian music with continuous on-stage performances, workshops, informal jam sessions, and socializing. GWMF gives traditional Appalachian music lovers a place to play, listen, dance, and learn in the cold dark of winter.

Performances are held in the Auditorium

Acoustic instruments only

Recordings are made of on-stage performances. If you play on-stage and would like a recording of your performance or if you have any questions, feel free to contact us (on the right) or ask at the sound table during the event.
