Even the warmest winter in Vermont can use a little heat, and The Summit School of Traditional Music and Culture will fetch sultry breezes from the bayous of Louisiana (and gentle airs from the Pacific northwest) to its 6th annual ‘Spice on Snow’ Winter Music, Food and Dance Festival February 18th-21st, 2016 at venues around Montpelier. This savory gumbo of country, Cajun and blues – a celebration of all we do year round – will keep your good times rolling right through the winter’s darkest days. But get your tickets soon: www.summit-school.org! Last year, Spice on Snow drew over 1500 people to Montpelier!
