NEFFA is more than the annual Festival! The New England Folk Festival Association is a non-profit educational and cultural organization founded more than 80 years ago, with the mission of preserving and nurturing living folk arts and traditions, in New England and elsewhere. In addition to the Festival, NEFFA organizes a regular contra dance, runs the Annual Ralph Page Dance Event, offers a grants program, and more. Becoming a NEFFA member is a great way to show your support for the organization and its mission!
Another perk of membership is early access to hotel room bookings at the Royal Plaza Best Western for the April Festival. Staying on-site is very convenient, and NEFFA has a special room rate for the weekend. Booking access for NEFFA members will open in early January, a week earlier than for the general public. Become a member now for early hotel room booking access, among other perks! You can find more information and sign up at https://www.neffa.org/membership-form/. If you’re not sure of your membership status, we have a handy membership lookup tool at https://www.neffa.org/membership/FindMyMembership.php.
