The story
Wheatland Music Festival in Remus
Wheatland Music Festival near Remus is the flagship gathering of the Wheatland Music Organization, dedicated to traditional arts carried person to person. Multiple stages and the dance pavilion are joined by hands-on instruction, children's areas and an arts-and-crafts market, with camps and jams extending the exchange beyond ticketed performance. The recurring practices—traditional music stages, dance-pavilion participation, and workshops camps and informal jams—tie the public program to the place and the people who sustain it.
A fiddle tune learned face to face crosses a shaded Michigan campground, passes through a dance pavilion and returns in a child's workshop the next morning.
