"For anyone who wants to learn West Virginia's traditional music, Glenville isn't a festival -
it's a pilgrimage."

--Margo Blevin - Dir. (Retired), Augusta Heritage Workshops

"It's THE one not to miss, especially if you're into old-time music."
--John Morris, West Virginia Fiddler

"Of all the music festivals, Glenville is the one I'll never miss. The jams and the variety of
old-time music
played there can't be beat."
--Dave Bing, West Virginia Fiddler
