About Baltimore Folk Music Society
The Baltimore Folk Music Society (BFMS) is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to preserving and promoting folk music, dance, and tradition. It is not a single dedicated venue, but rather hosts events at various community locations like Lovely Lane United Methodist Church and the Four Hour Day Lutherie. They host a variety of events including weekly contra and English country dances, concerts, song swaps, and family events, often featuring live music and instruction for new dancers. Their typical audience is broad, welcoming people of all ages, from students to seniors, with an emphasis on participation and community, and no partner or prior experience is needed for many events.
