Historic Annapolis is pleased to partner with the New Century American Irish-Arts Company for The Crabtown Frolic, a two-day traditional music festival featuring intimate performances, presentations, repertoire workshops, social dances, and music sessions.
Historic Annapolis will host the festival’s culminating performances on Sunday, September 28 on the picturesque terrace at the William Paca House & Garden. Performers will showcase their talents in traditional music in our 18th century space and explore the symbiosis of historic architecture and music. You’ll experience the aesthetics in which our ancestors entertained themselves using the gifts of their creative genius.
The Crabtown Frolic embraces the ethos of the Gaelic Revival—to cultivate a rich, intellectual life within Ireland’s music, language, sport, art, literature, and history—and extends the same ethos to Chesapeake culture. It examines Chesapeake’s extant 18th and 19th century traditions with concern for their future and unites tradition bearers to explore the encounters that cradle our Tidewater culture.
All tickets must be purchased through the The Crabtown Frolic website.
