- Open House Friday | June 1st, Lincoln Campus
- OPEN HOUSE FRIDAY: What's it all about?

-
Every month we choose a Friday to have an open house. It's the Old Town School's night of music and community. Bring your instrument, a couple songs, dancing shoes, a date or a few friends. The café is open, and the evening is open to the public.
- As a centerpiece event each month we feature a concert performance by a member of the School's amazing faculty or staff. Doors open at 5:00 PM, the whole evening costs only a $5 donation for individuals and $10 for families, and activities happen all over both building at various times throughout the night.
