Bones Fest XXX

The Bones are a folk percussion instrument. Bones Fest is an annual gathering of bones players. Bones Fest this year (the 30th one!) will be taking place during August 6-9, 2026 in Westport, MA, a beautiful town in southeastern Massachusetts with farms, beaches, and lots of New England history. It's only two towns west from New Bedford, where we held Bones Fest X, and is right on the border with Rhode Island. Your hosts will be Jonathan and Melissa Danforth (who live in Westport these days) and Rhythm Bones Society Board Member Dean Robinson (who lives just across the river in Bristol, RI). We can't wait to see you!
