Our tenth Lyrids Folk Dance Festival will happen April 19-21, 2024 at Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall an hour drive east of Vancouver, BC, Canada. Our guest teachers are Cristian Florescu & Sonia Dion presenting Romanian dances and Tom Bozigian & Sheree King presenting Armenian dances. Saturday evening will have live music with Zakuska from Seattle, WA and on Friday evening we’ll dance your favourite dances.

Note that any registration that includes a lunch or dinner must be made by April 10th. But you can still come at the last minute – for a teaching session or a party on Friday or Saturday nights. For more info and to register https://lyridsfolkdancefestival.org/
