Typically, the Spice on Snow annual Winter Music Festival is a four-day celebration of roots and folk music in downtown Montpelier, Vermont. This year, the Summit School board of directors and Spice on Snow festival committee have decided to move the festival to an online platform with a limited schedule, with the anticipation of a follow-up live concert with the festival headliners this summer.

The online version of Spice on Snow will include performances by Vermont-based puppet theater group Modern Times Theater, Worcester area banjoist and songwriter Fern Maddie, the Young Tradition Vermont Youth Commission Ensemble, and the S. VT based old-time band the Slide Grinders. Each group will perform from their own home or studio, and the Summit School will stream the performances online on our Facebook page and website. The Slide Grinders will also be offering instrumental workshops for intermediate musicians. The updated schedule is posted on Summit School's website: www.summit-school.org

Though the decision to move this year's winter festival online wasn't easy, the festival organizers felt strongly about protecting the community and not hosting an in-person event that could draw large crowds. We hope you'll settle in for a day filled with music, workshops and fun, from the comfort of your own home. Grab a warm drink and some blankets, and enjoy!
