HEADS UP DANCERS! Blissfest Community Dance Venue/Admission Change & other information!
Here are the LATEST details for our 2026 Fall-Holiday dance season!

Next Dance: Saturday, November 7, 7:30-10:00 PM.

VENUE: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are moving the dance back to the Littlefield-Alanson Community Building, 7631 US 31 (Burr Ave), Alanson, MI 49706

Caller: Larry Dyer will be doing the calling/instruction. All dances are taught by the caller. You need not bring a partner to participate.

Live Music: Provided by John & Mike (John Hatton - guitar and Mike Ross - fiddle) from the greater Lansing area. John has played with The Rhythm Billies and other Old Time musicians from all over the country, and led workshops in playing Old Time guitar. Mike has played fiddle & harmonica with Hard Tack & Pigs Feet and the Scarlet Runner String Band and led harmonica workshops for the Wheatland Music Organization. (Note-very brief bios)

Admission: $15-$20 by choice, $10-$15 by choice for students (with I.D.) and children under 12 free.

Potluck: We will not be hosting the potluck until further notice. There are lots of excellent places to eat nearby. We would welcome finger snacks/treats and drinks for "dance time outs."

Dance Committee: Looking toward the future, we could use some new volunteers if folks want to see this activity continue! Please do talk to one of us at the dance (We’ll make an announcement). By the way, we will train!

BEGINS: Saturday, October 3, 7:30-10:00 PM.

VENUE: We had such a good turnout & great time last spring at the Belle Tower of Petoskey, 224 Michigan Street in downtown Petoskey that we have decided to move the dances there (Wood floors! Excellent Acoustics!). Please be aware that bathroom facilities may be limited to porta-potties due to renovation activities, which should be completed soon.

CALLER: Cynthia Donahey will be doing the calling/instruction. All dances are taught by the caller. You need not bring a partner to participate.

ADMISSION: By donation. Suggested amount is $10-$20 (Students $5)

POTLUCK: We will not be hosting the potluck until further notice. There are lots of excellent places to eat nearby.

PARKING: Please use public parking, including the Darling Lot, kitty corner from the venue. Street parking is also available. Please be mindful of driveways, alleys, sidewalks, entrances, exits, neighboring businesses and emergency access routes. Do not park in the Petoskey Professional Arts Building parking lot nor any other private parking lot.

DANCE COMMITTEE: Looking toward the future, we could use some new volunteers if folks want to see this activity continue! Please do talk to one of us at the dance (We’ll make an announcement). By the way, we will train!

UPCOMING: The next two dances are Saturday, November 7 with Larry Dyer calling and John & Mike (from the greater Lansing Area) dispensing the music, and Saturday, December 5, Cynthia Donahey calling and Peacemeal String Band providing the tunes. Same time, same place.
