Advertisements

Thanks for asking! SFMS offers paid advertising in our newsletter as well as in our Concert Series programme book. We regularly trade advertising space with other folk organizations. Central Pennsylvania Traditions reaches over 350 individuals, public spaces and businesses, an audience which has shown an appreciation of folk music, folk dance, and traditional folk art.

Publishing Schedule

Central Pennsylvania Traditions is published bimonthly from September through May — which inevitably means that issues are published well in advance! If this long lead-time precludes having your event listed in our newsletter, a brief description can appear in our periodic email announcements or on our Bulletin Board.
