Young Tradition Weekend brings together young people interested in traditional music and dance, and those interested in what they do, and exposes the community at large to young singers, players and dancers and what they bring to the world. Young folks are the focus, supported by their teachers, mentors, friends and families. With opportunities to interact with others, young people use their inspiration and skills to inspire others to do the same.

Presented by Young Tradition Vermont with Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront and the Vermont Folklife Center with support from Burlington Public Schools. UVM Lane Series, BCA Center, Vermont Children's Hospital, Best Western Windjammer, Professional Postering and Distribution and others.
Sponsors include Advance Music, Fiona & John Patterson, Kate Ross & Larry Becker. Aly Richards & James Pepper, Music for Sprouts, Julia Gilbert & Nathan Cleveland, the Burlington Irish Heritage Festival, Shelburne Farms, and Green Across the World.
