Join the Birthplace of Country Music and Bristol Ballet for a community square dance on Saturday, September 30. Caller Becky Hill will lead a short introduction to dance steps, followed by a full square dance with a lively string band led by Gina and Jason Dilg.

This event is open to all ages and no experience or partner is required; we recommend sturdy shoes so you can dance all night! Space is limited so sign up to participate soon!
