Ladysmith Oldtime Gathering (LOG for short!) is a unique experience of camping and jamming - no concerts!

Ladysmith Oldtime Gathering is a participatory music experience that celebrates Appalachian-style old-time traditional music. There aren't many festivals like this in Canada, in fact, this might be the first official one! Similar festivals in other countries focus on sharing old-time music in a very natural organic way - in a circle, from one person to another, in a friendly learn-as-you-go kind of way, where everyone is welcome!
This gathering is not performance-focused and there are no concerts. Workshops are held on Saturday, and help share knowledge and wisdom about instruments, tunes, and techniques. The jam circles form naturally and take place around the campground, or out in a quiet meadow, up by the barn, or around a campfire late on a cold night, often running into the wee hours of the morning. On Saturday we share a big delicious community chili dinner - sharing a meal is a great way to build connection.
