BRISTOL, Tenn.-Va. (July 19, 2024) – Friends and family are invited to a lively evening of music and dance at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Historic Downtown Bristol on July 27 at 6:30 p.m. ET. That evening the museum will host a free community square dance in the Special Exhibits Gallery. This event promises to be fun for all ages and features expert caller Tyler Hughes – with lively string band music to keep you on your toes!
“We are thrilled to bring the joy of square dancing to our community,” said museum Head Curator Dr. Rene Rodgers. “This is one of our most popular programs, and it’s a wonderful way to experience cultural heritage and create lasting memories.”
The event kicks off with instruction on dance steps starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by a full square dance accompanied by live music starting at 7 p.m. No partner or previous dance experience is necessary – just bring your enthusiasm for a great night out! Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable, sturdy dancing shoes to protect the gallery floor.
The event is free and open to the public, but donations are always welcome at the door – that support helps us to continue to offer engaging and accessible public programming. Those who plan to attend are encouraged to RSVP through the Events page at BirthplaceOfCountryMusic.org.
