THANK YOU!

Thanks to all of our guests for making this such a sweet homecoming!  It was a wonderful week and weekend of musical fun and relaxation.  The response was so positive that we went ahead and booked The Hampton House for our 10th annual retreat, February 22nd - 25th, 2024!

Here are just a few glimpses of the good times shared by all.  Registration will open SOON for next year and will be limited to 50 attendees, so subscribe to this page and watch for an announcement in March! 

Safe travels home to everyone - many of us will be continuing on to the Castaway Music Cruise this weekend for even more musical serendipity!

Thanks again for coming together and helping us usher in a new chapter for the Florida Gulf Coast Dulcimer Retreat!

P.S.  If you have pictures and video from the event, and would like to share them with us for promotional purposes, please contact Bing.  Also, be sure to follow our Facebook page to stay up-to-date on the latest!

2 Weeks To Go!

Howdy, all!

We're very excited to be welcoming you to the Hampton House estate for our return to Homosassa Springs in a couple of weeks!

Hampton House is located at 5410 S. Magnolia Ave., which is right across the street from the Homosassa post office.   There will be limited parking at the estate, so if you're staying at the Florida Cracker Riverside Resort, we will have two shuttles running between the resort and the estate.  If you choose to walk from the resort, it's an easy fifteen minutes around the bend and past the school.

We have our own private dock and there's a possibility that we'll do some boat shuttling and/or river tours.  You can also always rent a pontoon boat, paddle board, or kayak from the Florida Cracker Riverside Resort marina.

As we get closer, we'll post check-in, registration, and first-day details.  There are 15 registration spots available, so if you're local and want to join, come along!

We're looking forward to seeing all of you and having a wonderfully relaxing time on the river.  See you soon!
