Winter Creek Reunion has now transitioned to an acoustic music camping/jam. We've gone back to our roots of a get together more like a family reunion instead of a formal festival.  

 WCR still takes place on the banks of Winter Creek in Bennington, OK, the dulcimer capital of the USA. It is sponsored by David's Dulcimers and the Red River Valley Dulcimer Club.

 It was started as a get together to work on David's shop in 2001 by musician friends and grew into what we now call Winter Creek Reunion.

Cheryl and David Turner along with Mike and Brenda Jeter were the driving force in getting Winter Creek Reunion on its feet in the beginning years. As the Red River Valley Dulcimer Club grew and gained strength it was able to take over many of the duties of getting the festival ready. This had been the vision of David's Dulcimers, the Turners, and the Jeter's from the beginning. The club now runs the festival and is very excited about its future.

Winter Creek Reunion is  free and  our new format as a camping/jam will still offer workshops on hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, guitar, banjo, autoharp, fiddle, rhythm, and shape note singing. You will always find someone jamming and all are welcome to join. There will still be camping on the grounds available for rv's and tents.   Vendors are also still welcome to come offer their crafts!  We will still be having concerts as well, although we will be calling on our immense talent pool to offer entertainment.   You'll love the relaxing, laid-back country atmosphere of the festival and we will lay odds that you will feel like you've been to a family reunion by the time you leave!

Come be a part of this wonderful event that takes place the weekend of Columbus Day in October each year.
