Flurry Festival looking for performer homestay hosts!

The Flurry Festival, one of the largest annual traditional dance and music festivals in North America, will be back at the Saratoga Springs City Center February 14-16, 2025! The Flurry is looking for community members interested in hosting one or more performers, instructors, or sound pros during the weekend of the festival.

Homestays allow the Flurry to hire the high-caliber national and global professionals that make this festival fantastic. As a thank you for your support, hosts will receive one full festival ticket per person hosted.

Hosts must be able to provide a private room with a door and a bed or futon (no air mattresses). Hosts can indicate their household preferences and will be matched with a person/people who meet their specifications, eg. single people only, okay with couples or families, no smoking, etc. Housing is needed primarily for the nights of Friday, 2/14, and Saturday, 2/15, but some individuals will be looking for a place that can accommodate a three-night stay.

Please reach out to Maddy at homestays@flurryfestival.org with interest or any questions.
