The Starwood Festival, held July 24th-29th, 2007 at Brushwood Folklore Center in Sherman, NY (about 30 miles South of Jamestown) features over 15 performances of music, drumming, dance and theatre. Its a multiversity featuring over 150 classes, workshops and ceremonies offered by teachers from many fields, disciplines, traditions and cultures. Its a magical family camping event with tenting and hiking, a pool and a hot-tub, a food court, co-op child care, a Kid Village and multimedia shows. Starwood is also a social event with costume parades, jam sessions, merchants, parties, all-night drumming and much more, including our hugely fabulous and infamous Bonfire!

The Starwood Stage is honored to welcome back premiere Brazilian & World percussionist Cyro Baptista & Beat the Donkey. Cyro has appeared on five Grammy-award winning albums, and his workshops are simply amazing. We also welcome the dynamic Celtic rock group Lehto & Wright, the swamp-pop sound of Cats on Holiday, and the fantastic Pagan World-Beat group Telesma! New friends like Raquy and the Cavemen, Leo Starwind, Coyote Grace, and Rhythm Shamen combine with old favorites like Kenny Klein, Revelry, and the groups Incus and LochErie to name a few. And our speaker line-up is just as amazing!
