Winter Creek Reunion

Winter Creek Reunion is an acoustic music festival that 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 2002 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 a free festival and offers 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 is camping on the grounds available for rv's and tents along with campgrounds nearby. Vendors are also available to offer a variety of crafts and musical products. Everyone enjoys the afternoon and evening concerts as well. 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.
