FallSong is a place to enjoy music from many different traditions, including lots of traditional folk genres, as well as rock, jazz, showtunes – whatever people like to sing. Along with song circles there are workshops and concerts. There is also lots of tech support for people who are uncomfortable with Zoom or want to learn more advanced Zoom use.

The workshop and song circle program is close to full (although we can add more spaces, so it’s never really full). You can see a preliminary list of the participants leading events and the titles of their events on the website. No times yet, just a list – we’re working on the schedule.
We have about a half-dozen spaces left for 20-minute mini-concerts. You don’t need to be a superstar to give your own concert; if you think you MIGHT like to give a mini-concert, and if that means that you really DO want to give one, don’t be shy. You will never have a friendlier audience.
We still could use a few more session assistants, so if you are very comfortable with Zoom and would be willing to help out at a session – especially one you are going to attend anyway – let us know.

Corvallis Celtic Festival
July 16-19 2026
The 2026 Corvallis Celtic Festival will feature a host of activities all in downtown Corvallis. We start with a kickoff concert on July 16 at Common Fields. Friday evening, July 17 is a concert on our main stage located on 2 nd Street in front of the Old World Deli. Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19 will be filled with workshops for playing instruments, singing, and dancing in various downtown venues and the Corvallis Library. There will be children’s activities, and many sessions where you can play and sing with other musicians or just come to listen. Our Main Stage on Saturday will feature music all day culminating in an evening show by the Stout Pounders from Seattle. Bring your dancing shoes for that one! We will also have performances in downtown venues on Saturday and Sunday. All events will be free of charge, although donations are gratefully accepted.
