------------NEW WAY TO PAY FOR YOUR REGISTRATION!--------------
NEW this year! You may pay for your registration using a credit card via PAYPAL. It's easy! Once you've filled out your registration form and calculated your total amount due including all discounts and food, click this button.
You will be directed to enter an amount (which should match your total due) and in the Special Instructions box indicate that this is your "Registration Fee". Feel free to add any other notes here as well. Simply follow the instructions on paypal and mail in your registration form as directed above.
If you do NOT have a paypal account but would still like to pay using a credit card please indicate this on your registration form and we will email you an invoice.
Naturally, if it's easier for you to mail a check that is absolutely fine by us!
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Curious about the entertainment options available at a FARM Gathering, but never had the time to commit to traveling long distances for an entire weekend, or the inclination or ability to pay for lodging and meals? Once again, we'd like to invite the public to come and observe the Official Showcases and Performance Lane and even participate in the jams and song circles.
The charge to attend the showcases and Performance Lane is only $10 per night. This is a walk-up fee. No pre-registration is required.
We're hoping you can drop by and discover the huge umbrella that is folk and acoustic music in the Midwest—all ages and many subgenres. Bring an instrument (or just your ears and voices) and see for yourself that folk music in the Midwest is alive and vital—and that you can keep it that way. We're hoping that once you see what we're all about, you'll be back to join us for the ENTIRE weekend next year!
Again the best way to stay informed is to sign up for our e-newsletter.
