ABOUT OUR LIVINGROOM CONCERT SERIES

In Room 203, our spirits can make an escape! Music and poetry are free as they are freeing.

Fire in the Village invites emerging & established artists to share their visions & voices in our 'home room' on the second floor of Old Central School.

Room 203 is a welcoming, family-friendly space! No alcohol is served. We share food & visit before the music starts. There are comfortable chairs for elders. Kids are always welcome. Ticket prices are suggested, to support Village artists, but no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
