Hey Fever!

Hey Fever! 2022 has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Our Dance Weekend will resume again in future.

Hey Fever! is a full weekend of contra dancing from Friday night to late Sunday afternoon. We love that so many out of town dancers join us for this total blast of a weekend – register early!
